About Ashley
Ashley Maag is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) practicing in Tennessee with four years of clinical experience. She sees people who are dealing with addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, and other life changes. Ashley focuses on practical steps clients can use to reduce distress and handle daily challenges.
She uses straightforward conversation to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns. That often leads to small experiments clients can try between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her approach alongside client-centered and mindfulness methods. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and motivational interviewing when those tools fit the goal.
Ashley pays attention to how past relationships and family of origin issues affect current choices. She helps people confronted by grief, caregiver stress, chronic illness, or parenting strain to clarify what matters most. For those facing addiction or co-occurring concerns, she blends practical coping strategies with attention to motivation and safety.
Sessions emphasize clear skills, brief practice tasks, and checking what works. Clients who struggle with anger, self-esteem, attention differences, or career stress will find concrete tools to try. The work is collaborative and goal-focused, with time set aside to measure progress.
She offers services in English and does not accept international clients. People interested in beginning can follow the online sign-up process to match and schedule an initial session.
How Ashley uses structured approaches in remote sessions
Ashley commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks problems into concrete parts - thoughts, actions, and feelings - and tests short experiments to see what changes helps with anxiety, depression, or stress.She also integrates client-centered techniques that focus on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are priorities, offering step-by-step tools for handling intense feelings.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist and client review goals and try approaches that match those goals and the client's preferences. That collaboration guides whether more skills practice, motivational strategies, or reflective conversation is emphasized.
