About Ashley
Ashley Curtis is a licensed professional counselor clinical candidate (LPCC) based in Kentucky who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma, intimacy concerns, and career questions. She presents a calm, straightforward manner and focuses on what matters most to each person in the room. Ashley creates a warm, nonjudgmental space where people can name their worries and take small steps forward.
Sessions are practical and conversational. She listens for patterns and helps clients try new ways of responding to old problems.
Background and approach
Her work draws on narrative ideas to separate a person from their problems. That approach helps people tell different stories about who they are and what they can do. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and build consistent action.
Ashley uses attachment-informed thinking to look at how past relationships shape present behavior. She mixes client-centered listening with cognitive-behavioral tools to change unhelpful thoughts and habits. The result is a flexible plan shaped around the client's goals.
She has eight years of experience and supports adults working through issues like abandonment, body image, codependency, communication problems, dissociation, and recovery after loss or separation. Ashley aims to make therapy understandable and useful for people juggling busy lives. People who want direct guidance and a compassionate listener will find a clear, collaborative approach in her work.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Ashley directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and acceptance approaches work online
Ashley blends Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and attachment-informed ideas into online sessions. Narrative Therapy helps people step back from problem-focused stories and explore alternative stories that highlight strengths and choices. ACT emphasizes clarifying what matters most and taking small, values-based steps even when strong feelings are present. Attachment-informed work looks at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and helps people shift those patterns in daily life.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals and try techniques together to see what fits. Sessions evolve based on what helps the client most, and choices are adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let visual cues guide conversation and deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or screen time is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to check in between appointments, use short coaching-style prompts, or fit therapy into a break at work. These options help therapy fit into a busy life while keeping the focus on meaningful change.
