About Ashley
Ashley Crockham is a licensed clinical social worker who offers a calm, practical approach to common life challenges. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or parenting pressures. Sessions focus on small, realistic steps so people can start feeling steadier sooner.
Ashley draws on evidence-based practices to help clients understand thoughts and emotions and to build useful everyday skills. She meets people where they are and adapts plans to each person’s needs and values.
Background and approach
Early sessions explore current concerns, personal history, and strengths to set clear, measurable goals. In therapy she teaches tools for managing intense feelings, improving sleep, and coping with change. Work may include practicing new ways to respond to anger, handling relationship and communication problems, or addressing body image and self-esteem struggles.
She also supports people facing mood disorders, postpartum depression, addiction concerns, or issues related to gender dysphoria. Prior to her social work degree, Ashley spent six years in roles focused on domestic violence and child protective services. She has four years of experience as a social worker and brings that background into simple, practical care.
Her Louisiana license is LA LCSW 17271 and she practices as an LCSW. Ashley aims to make sessions respectful and nonjudgmental. Progress is reviewed regularly and goals are adjusted as needed.
Her style is collaborative and focused on helping people build resilience and find workable ways forward.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Ashley uses evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different actions to reduce anxiety and depression. Solution-Focused work centers on small, useful steps and quick strategies to move toward clear goals.She treats approach selection as a collaborative process. During early sessions she will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is seen.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls are good for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging allow brief, frequent contact and can fit into busy days or when writing feels easier than speaking.
These options give flexibility to schedule sessions around work, parenting, or other commitments. Licensed professionals can use the different formats to tailor pacing and intervention so therapy fits everyday life.
