   About Ashley

   Ashley Ferguson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina. She focuses on helping people build motivation, manage stress, and cope with life changes. Her approach centers on practical steps that fit into everyday life.

   With seven years of experience, she often supports people facing anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, and anger. She also works with issues around relationships, self-esteem, grief, and loneliness. Sessions tend to emphasize clear goals and small, achievable changes.

   Ashley uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their reasons for change and to strengthen their own motivation. She pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then tries different ways of responding.

   In sessions she encourages clients to notice strengths and past successes. She aims to make the work feel manageable and grounded in daily routines. People can expect a steady, respectful tone focused on practical progress.

   Her style is supportive and collaborative. She invites clients to set the pace and decide what matters most. To begin, clients follow the platform steps to match and schedule with her.

2. How Ashley Uses Motivational Interviewing and CBT Online

   Ashley draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find and strengthen their own reasons for change. This approach uses open conversation to uncover what matters to the client and to support shifts in behavior without pressure.
   
   She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and actions interact. CBT helps people try new behaviors, test unhelpful beliefs, and build skills for managing anxiety, panic, and mood changes.
   
   Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Ashley will discuss goals, preferences, and daily routines to decide which methods make the most sense. She treats the process as a collaboration and adjusts plans as progress is made.
