Ashley Hackett , LPC

Ashley Hackett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 18 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, career concerns, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. Ashley also focuses on issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, commitment and communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation, mood disorders, and self-harm.

Ashley approaches therapy from a strengths-based, empowering perspective, believing that each person is the expert of their own story. She encourages clients to recognize existing strengths and to build practical skills that support meaningful change. Seeking help is framed as a courageous step toward a more fulfilling life, and Ashley aims to support and guide clients through that process rather than dictate solutions.

In sessions she blends collaborative, evidence-informed methods with a warm, respectful stance, helping clients clarify goals, address immediate concerns, and develop long-term coping strategies. Her experience spans individual and family-related difficulties, and she emphasizes practical tools alongside emotional processing so clients can move forward with greater confidence and resilience.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Ashley Hackett

Ashley integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and respect so clients feel supported while they explore their experiences and values - it works well for relationship problems, self-esteem issues, and life transitions. CBT is a structured approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when needed, teaching practical techniques for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Ashley collaborates with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. She works with clients to try strategies, evaluate what helps, and adjust the plan so therapy fits their life and aims.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule care around work, family, and other commitments. These options allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support and practical skills coaching while accommodating different communication styles and daily routines.
