Ashley Schroeder

Ashley Schroeder is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, anger, and issues like self-esteem and motivation. Ashley aims to create a straightforward, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak honestly about what’s on their mind.

She uses practical methods to help people make changes they can notice day to day. Sessions often focus on identifying patterns that cause distress and trying small, workable steps to shift those patterns. Ashley combines client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help reframe unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Her approach also draws on emotionally-focused work to help people understand how feelings influence interactions. For those dealing with relationship stress, elements of the Gottman Method may be used to improve communication and reduce conflict. Motivational interviewing can help when someone feels stuck and needs a boost to try new strategies.

Ashley works with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, ADHD, addictions, career changes, depression, coping with life transitions, and family stress. She also addresses core issues such as attachment worries, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and isolation. The emphasis is on practical steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients are invited to reach out and arrange an initial appointment to see if the fit feels right.

How these approaches translate to online work

Ashley draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to help people name worries and try straightforward changes. Client-centered work means the conversation centers on the person's experience and goals, while CBT provides clear exercises for changing unhelpful thoughts and habits.

She also uses emotionally-focused ideas to help people see how feelings affect relationships and interactions. For relationship concerns, techniques from the Gottman Method are sometimes used to improve communication and reduce repeated conflicts. These approaches tend to fit well with conversations held by video or phone because they rely on guided discussion and concrete practice rather than equipment or in-person tools.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Ashley will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest techniques that match those aims. Together they choose what to try first and check whether it helps over time.

Session format options are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use phone-only sessions when video would be difficult or prefer sitting out of camera for a while.
