About Ashley
Ashley Maag is a Tennessee Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) with four years of clinical experience. She focuses on addiction, trauma and abuse, mood concerns, anxiety, and related life stressors. Ashley offers counseling for relationship strain, parenting stresses, grief, ADHD, and other challenges listed in her specialties.
Ashley uses clear, down-to-earth conversation to help people sort through their problems. She listens, gives feedback, and teaches skills drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior techniques, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Sessions tend to be practical. Goals and steps are discussed together so clients know what to expect.
In early meetings she helps people identify what matters most and which patterns are getting in the way. For addiction and motivation concerns she uses motivational interviewing techniques to explore readiness for change. For anxiety, depression, and mood issues she applies cognitive behavioral methods to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors.
When trauma or attachment problems appear, she combines client-centered listening with skill-based tools from DBT and mindfulness. That approach supports emotion regulation and clearer communication during stressful moments. She also addresses family of origin issues, abandonment, and caregiver stress through focused conversation and coping strategies.
Ashley describes her work as collaborative and skill-focused. She helps people build practical tools for daily life and cope with changes such as chronic illness, loss, or shifting roles. Those who want concrete steps and ongoing coaching may find her style matches their needs.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and building a collaborative relationship. Online sessions use that same focus to let clients talk through their concerns and set goals together. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is goal-oriented and teaches steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which works well in brief homework and check-ins during remote sessions. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness that can be practiced between meetings and reviewed during sessions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with the client to identify priorities, try techniques, and adjust methods based on how well they fit the client’s needs and preferences. That means early sessions often include problem identification and small experiments to see what helps.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists commonly use these practical benefits to help clients maintain continuity of care while learning new skills and coping strategies.
