About Ashley
Ashley Donahue is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Illinois with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical tools that help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the everyday strains of family life. Ashley speaks plainly and meets clients where they are in life.
She commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values.
Background and approach
Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness-based techniques are also part of her work when people need skills for emotional regulation and staying present. Motivational Interviewing appears in conversations about change and goal-setting. Ashley helps with a wide range of concerns including parenting challenges, sleep problems, anger, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and life transitions.
She also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and career stress. Additional focuses include attachment and family of origin issues, communication and commitment problems, hoarding, isolation, and aging-related concerns. Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused.
Ashley works with each person to set clear, manageable steps and checks progress regularly. Practical homework and skill practice are common parts of the work. Clients connect with her using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Those formats are used to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between sessions.

Practical approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and then take small steps toward those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to change how someone feels and functions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and handling crises so reactions feel more manageable.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they choose or combine approaches and adjust the plan as progress is tracked and needs change.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is useful for longer therapy work and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers no camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for quick check-ins, practicing skills between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options aim to make consistent therapy easier to fit into daily life.
