Ashley Brummett , LCSW

Ashley Brummett is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who brings deep social work experience and a decade of counseling practice to her therapeutic work. With over 18 years as a social worker and more than 10 years providing counseling, she has worked across Child Protection, services for adults with cognitive disabilities, hospice and palliative care, inpatient hospital settings, outpatient mental health clinics, long-term care facilities, and dialysis clinics. These varied roles have helped her develop practical skills in supporting people through depression, anxiety, grief and bereavement, adjustment to life changes, caregiver fatigue and stress, and other difficult life events.

Ashley draws on personal experience with divorce, blended family dynamics, caregiver strain, and loss, and she is also a parent of teenagers. That background informs a warm, genuine approach built on open, honest communication without judgment. She describes her style as compassionate and empathetic, focused on helping clients feel improvements with each interaction. As an LCSW - a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - she combines clinical training with real-world social work perspectives to address both emotional and practical concerns.

Ashley is comfortable incorporating Christian beliefs into therapy when a client wishes to include faith, while also respecting clients who prefer a nonreligious approach. She typically offers availability in evenings and on weekends, with some daytime weekday openings, and provides sessions via phone, video, or text. She generally checks messages at least once each day and aims to respond promptly.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship that helps clients explore their values and goals; it is especially helpful for people seeking acceptance, clearer self-understanding, and guidance through life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, panic, and stress-related concerns by teaching practical skills and new ways of responding.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotional experiences and relationship patterns, making it useful for couples, attachment issues, and intimacy-related struggles by helping people express needs and reshape interactions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Ashley works with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds so therapy remains responsive and practical.

Online therapy with Ashley is offered by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular sessions around work, caregiving, or other commitments, and they allow therapists and clients to maintain consistent momentum between meetings.
