About Bernard

Bernard Ashlock is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Kansas with 23 years of experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, relationship issues, parenting concerns, and coping with life changes. He also supports work-related concerns, bipolar challenges, family conflict, and blended family issues.

Bernard uses direct, practical conversations to help people find clearer paths forward. He encourages personal reflection and guides clients to notice what already works for them.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on small, achievable steps and on rebuilding confidence after trauma or loss. His clinical background includes work in a crisis stabilization hospital and clinic, medical hospital settings, and independent practice. He has also worked with people across the lifespan, including senior adults, adults, adolescents, and children, in both group and individual formats.

Bernard has experience teaching as an adjunct professor at two colleges. That work sharpened his ability to explain skills plainly and to tailor tools to each person’s situation. He draws on several approaches to suit different concerns rather than using one fixed method.

In therapy he combines practical skill-building with time to process painful experiences. Clients can expect clear goals, strategies for day-to-day coping, and attention to how past trauma affects current life. The overall aim is to help people find workable solutions and move toward more stable, satisfying days.

Online support

Working Online with Practical and Trauma-Focused Methods

Bernard uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy to address stressful and painful experiences. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and lift mood. Trauma-Focused Therapy gives space to process painful events and build skills to manage triggers and overwhelming memories.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Bernard will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Together they track progress and adjust strategies if something is not helping.

Online appointments are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video works well for in-depth conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text messaging make it simple to check in between sessions or to have shorter, focused exchanges. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
