Ashley Schroeder, LPC

Ashley Schroeder is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are weighed down by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and life transitions. Ashley creates an environment where clients can talk honestly about feelings and concerns without feeling judged.

She often helps people facing relationship strains and parenting challenges. She also supports those dealing with attention difficulties, struggles with addiction, trauma and abuse, anger, and career stress. Sessions are practical and aimed at small, manageable steps toward change.

Ashley uses a mix of approaches based on what each person needs. She draws on client-centered methods to follow the client's lead, cognitive behavioral tools for changing unhelpful thinking and behavior, and emotion-focused strategies to deepen understanding of strong feelings. She also incorporates Gottman Method ideas for relationship work and motivational interviewing when clients need help finding momentum.

Her style is direct but warm. She listens first, then helps clients try techniques they can use between sessions. Expect collaborative goal-setting and regular check-ins about what is working.

Taking the first step can feel hard, and Ashley aims to make that step clearer and less heavy. She encourages open conversation about what matters most and helps people build steady habits for coping and growth.

How Ashley blends approaches for online work

Client-centered therapy puts the person in the lead. The therapist follows the client's concerns and priorities, offering support and reflection to help people make sense of their feelings. This approach is helpful when someone needs a listening space and a gentle guide to clarify goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and practicing alternatives. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and coping with stressful situations because it gives concrete skills to use between sessions.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding strong emotions and changing patterns that cause distance or pain in relationships. It can help people build different ways of responding when feelings run high.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ashley will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and recommend methods that fit those needs. Decisions are collaborative and can change as the work progresses.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten commute time, and allow a quicker check-in when schedules are tight. It can also let people try sessions from a calmer room or avoid being on camera when they prefer audio only. Licensed professionals adapt approaches to make online sessions practical and helpful for real-life problems.
