About Ashley

Ashley Brummett is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a decade of counseling experience and a broader 18-year background in social work.

Background and approach

She has practiced in diverse settings including hospice and palliative care, inpatient hospitals, outpatient mental health clinics, long-term care, child protection, and dialysis clinics, which has informed her work with grief, caregiver stress, depression, anxiety, and adjustment to life changes. Her professional history also includes supporting people facing chronic illness, end-of-life concerns, and complex family dynamics.

Her therapeutic style is warm, direct, and empathic, centered on honest communication without judgment. She integrates methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered techniques, emotionally-focused strategies, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to tailor sessions to individual needs.

Ashley acknowledges personal experience with divorce, blended families, caregiving, and loss, and she offers an approach that honors clients' values, including an openness to incorporate Christian perspectives when requested. Based in Kentucky, she works in English and provides evening and weekend availability to fit varied schedules.

Approaches Built for Online Work and Collaborative Care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and building practical skills to shift those patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, panic symptoms, and adjustment to life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes understanding the person’s experience through empathic listening and unconditional positive regard, helping people explore their values and move toward self-directed goals. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on how emotions shape relationships and attachment, supporting people who struggle with intimacy, communication, and family-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be a collaborative effort. The therapist will work with each client to consider needs, goals, and preferences and may combine elements from different approaches to create a personalized plan that fits the client’s situation.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care across changes in routine. These formats allow licensed professionals to offer regular check-ins, skill-building exercises, and supportive conversations with flexibility in timing and communication style.
