Ashley Cloud , LPC, LMHC

Ashley Cloud works 3 AM - 11 AM CST, so clients should ensure their schedules align with these hours.

Ashley meets people who feel stuck in negative thoughts, intense emotions, or repeating patterns that do not support their wellbeing, and she helps those who want to create more meaning and joy in daily life. She approaches therapy as a collaborative process, offering a supportive presence while helping clients develop practical skills to manage stressors and build self-compassion. Her aim is to help clients recognize their resilience and grow confidence in their ability to cope.

She does not view therapy as one size fits all. Although her background is rooted in behavioral approaches, she emphasizes tailoring treatment to each person so goals and preferences guide the work. She draws from multiple theories to create a personalized plan that fits the individual.

Ashley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), and she has over 5 years of experience working in mental health and substance abuse settings. She is also professionally trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and she integrates that training with other approaches to meet each client where they are.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Ashley Cloud

Ashley uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is a practical, skills-focused approach that can help with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching tools for changing responses to difficult situations.

She also incorporates Trauma-Focused Therapy, which centers on processing and reducing the impact of traumatic experiences. This approach supports people coping with trauma and post-traumatic reactions by working to reframe traumatic memories and build coping strategies.

Client-Centered Therapy is another element of her work, where the therapist provides empathetic listening and supports the client's own goals and values. This approach helps clients feel heard and respected while they explore personal growth and self-compassion.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Ashley collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions offer flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow clients to fit therapy into varied schedules and life circumstances, making consistent care more attainable while working with a licensed professional who tailors treatment to the individual.
