Ashley Bashaw , LPC

Ashley Bashaw is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma who brings a compassionate, nonjudgmental approach to helping people navigate life’s challenges. She has worked extensively in the mental health field and as a counselor with individuals facing depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, domestic violence, parenting concerns, career transitions, OCD, and ADHD. She has also supported many people recovering from physical trauma and emotional abuse.

Ashley’s counseling style is warm, open-minded, and supportive, rooted in respect and sensitivity. She avoids stigmatizing labels and aims to create a space where clients feel heard and valued. Her work integrates client-centered methods with cognitive-behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, solution-focused strategies, and trauma-focused therapy to address symptoms, build skills, and promote healing.

Rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan, Ashley individualizes conversations and treatment plans to align with each person’s needs and goals. She emphasizes collaboration and empowerment, helping clients take meaningful steps toward change. If someone is ready to begin that process, Ashley offers steady support and practical guidance throughout their journey.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Ashley uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns - this approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. She also incorporates trauma-focused therapy to address the impact of physical or emotional trauma, helping clients process distressing experiences and develop coping strategies. Additionally, motivational interviewing is used to explore ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, which can be helpful for addictions, lifestyle shifts, and goal-oriented work.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Ashley works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan as progress is made to ensure the care remains individualized and effective.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility - clients can meet by video calls, have conversations by phone, engage in live chat, or use text-based messaging as needed. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and daily life while connecting with licensed professionals and therapists who can support growth across a range of concerns.
