About Ashley
Ashley Howell welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. She is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina and brings a calm, practical approach to sessions. Ashley focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, caregiver fatigue, and major life transitions.
She also supports people facing chronic illness, cancer, aging and geriatric issues, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and the stress that comes with caregiving.
Background and approach
In sessions she listens first and helps people identify small, useful steps. She draws on methods that focus on thoughts and behavior as well as approaches that center emotions and personal strengths. You can expect straightforward conversations, concrete coping tools, and attention to what matters most to you.
Ashley has seven years of experience working in medical and community settings. That background means she is familiar with the stresses of illness, caregiving, and navigating health-related systems, and she uses that experience to shape practical plans with clients. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit busy schedules.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches available online
Ashley uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns in their thoughts and behaviors and try small changes that can reduce anxiety and improve mood. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy approaches to help people name and work through strong feelings, which is useful for grief, relationship stress, and deep emotional pain.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ashley listens to each person’s goals and preferences and then suggests methods to try. She checks in and adjusts the plan so the approach fits what you need and what feels helpful.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for fuller conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat can work for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief ongoing encouragement or short updates between sessions. These options aim to make therapy fit around work, caregiving, medical appointments, or other busy schedules.
