About Ashley

Ashley Burns is a licensed clinician practicing in Montana. She is an LCPC and brings seven years of experience supporting people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self esteem, depression, and trauma. She speaks English and focuses on creating a calm, respectful space to begin the work. Ashley aims for straightforward, practical sessions where people can say what they are feeling and thinking without judgment. She helps clients untangle relationship and parenting concerns and rebuild confidence and motivation. Conversations are paced to match each person’s comfort and goals. Her work draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses Internal Family Systems ideas to help people identify different parts of themselves and shift how those parts interact. These approaches are used to address anxiety, relationship patterns, and self esteem struggles. In a typical session, Ashley listens first and then offers gentle ways to try different perspectives. She helps people practice new responses and tests what works in day-to-day life. Progress is measured by changes the person notices, like clearer boundaries or less reactivity. Signing up starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time to meet. Ashley encourages anyone who feels ready to take that step to begin the process.

How these approaches translate to online work

Ashley uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how earlier relationships shape current ways of relating. This approach helps people notice patterns in close relationships and try different, healthier responses. Internal Family Systems helps clients identify separate "parts" of themselves - for example a critical part or a protective part - and learn kinder ways to relate to those parts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they adjust pace and focus based on what feels most helpful in sessions.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing check-ins during a work break. It can also allow sessions to continue when schedules or geography make in-person meetings difficult. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt Attachment-Based and Internal Family Systems methods to work well in remote settings, working with what the client finds most useful.
