About Ashley

Ashley Pierce is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She is an Army veteran and works with residents of Texas. Her main concerns include trauma and abuse, grief, anger, self-esteem, and depression.

Pierce draws on experience with military-related challenges and general trauma to help people manage strong emotions. She also supports people dealing with substance use, obsessive compulsive behaviors, and the effects of significant loss. Sessions tend to focus on practical coping and problem-solving rather than abstract theory.

In conversation she uses clear, direct language and keeps goals concrete. People can expect help with skills for handling anger, reducing distressing thoughts, and rebuilding confidence after setbacks. She also addresses relationship strain that shows up as communication problems, infidelity, or separation.

Her work includes attention to moral struggles like guilt, shame, and forgiveness, and to issues often reported by first responders and veterans. She helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck and try new ways of responding in daily life.

Clients often receive structured tools from evidence-informed approaches such as cognitive behavior methods and acceptance-based practices. Sessions look at what is getting in the way of a steadier day-to-day life and practice small changes that make routines easier to manage.

BHow sessions work

How Ashley uses therapeutic approaches online

Ashley works with approaches that focus on actions and stories. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting driven by them and choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches step-by-step skills to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try. Clients and therapist check in and adjust the plan if something is not helping.

Confirm current session options before booking to know which online formats are offered. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a day when work, family, or travel make in-person visits difficult. Online sessions can also allow shorter check-ins, fewer schedule barriers, and the ability to continue work from a distance while maintaining regular appointments.
