About
Ashley Kingston is a Montana Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and Nationally Board-Certified Counselor who is passionate about helping adults reconnect with their authentic selves and move toward meaningful, lasting change. She supports clients facing concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, grief, trauma and abuse, disordered eating, relationship challenges, parenting stressors, and major life transitions. She also has experience working with mood and personality disorders, substance use, self-harm, and suicidal ideation.
She earned a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a concentration in addiction from Walden University. Her work is grounded in a person-centered philosophy that treats therapy as a collaborative and empowering process, with the client’s perspective and lived experience at the center. Ashley focuses on creating a supportive space where people can feel respected and understood as they explore what is getting in the way of the life they want to build.
In sessions, she integrates somatic, relational, and attachment-based practices with evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), existential therapy, mindfulness, crisis intervention, psychoeducation, and solution-focused therapy. When it fits the client’s needs, she may also incorporate holistic tools like breathwork, gentle movement, meditation, and grounding techniques to support mind-body awareness, strengthen intuition, and rebuild trust in an inner voice that may have been minimized by past experiences. Everything is tailored to the client’s goals, pace, and comfort.
Ashley is certified in Telehealth Therapy (THTC) and provides online counseling. Her practice hours are Monday through Thursday from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM (MST). She typically responds to messages at least twice per day, once in the morning and once in the evening, and clients may schedule live audio or live chat sessions in advance. She does not offer video sessions, with the intention of providing a comfortable, flexible, and accessible way to engage in therapy.

Evidence-Based Approaches, Made Accessible Online
Ashley Kingston, LCPC, draws from several well-established therapy models to support adults working through concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship stress, grief, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and building practical strategies to respond differently, which can be especially useful when worry, low mood, or self-criticism feels hard to interrupt.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier communication, offering structure for people who feel overwhelmed by intense emotions or stuck in reactive cycles. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and ongoing relationships shape trust, closeness, and self-worth, and it can be helpful for clients navigating intimacy concerns, abandonment fears, or repeated relationship patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Ashley works collaboratively with clients to understand what they want to change, what has and has not helped before, and what feels most comfortable, then tailors the work to match their needs, goals, and preferences.
Online therapy can make support easier to fit into real life. Sessions can happen through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that best matches their schedule, energy, and communication style.
