Ashley Kraskey , LPCC

Ashley Kraskey is a Minnesota-based clinical counselor who works with people facing depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, and autism. She approaches each situation with respect for where a person is in their journey, acknowledging that every step toward change matters whether it feels small or overwhelming.

Ashley intentionally creates an inviting, laid-back space so people can bring their authentic selves to sessions. When individuals feel comfortable, they are often better able to engage in the work; some appointments focus on deep emotional processing while others concentrate on building everyday coping skills and practical strategies.

Beginning therapy can feel intimidating, and Ashley recognizes the difficulty of sharing personal details with someone new. She offers supportive guidance, answers questions about the process, and addresses concerns as they arise. Her work emphasizes steady support through the challenges of change and practical tools for managing life.

Ashley holds an LPCC, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Ashley uses client-centered therapy to create an accepting, empathic space where people can explore their concerns at their own pace; this approach is helpful for stress, self-esteem, and everyday life challenges. She also draws on motivational interviewing to help people clarify their own reasons for change and to resolve ambivalence when making decisions about behavior or recovery. For those affected by traumatic experiences, trauma-focused therapy offers structured ways to process and reduce the ongoing impact of trauma on daily functioning.

Finding the best fit is part of the therapeutic process. Ashley collaborates with each person to identify which approaches align with their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adapts methods over time based on progress and feedback so the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy with licensed professionals can take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistent support, practice skills between sessions, and connect with a therapist in ways that fit day-to-day life.
