- LIMHP
I hold licenses in Mental Health Practice (LIMHP #1984) and Substance Use Counseling (LADC #1014) in Nebraska with 11 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with issues related to being a first responder (law enforcement, EMT, corrections, etc...) stress and anxiety, the criminal justice system, coping with addictions, trauma and abuse, & anger management. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients process emotions and think differently about the situations that life sends their way. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Ashley is a great listener and gets you to think about things with a different perspective as a third party. I highly recommend her!
Ashely has been amazing. She has helped me attack my anxiety and panic problems from many directions. She’s very understand, easy to talk to and gives me all the tools and solutions I need to help myself everyday.
I think she does a fantastic job and follows through. Easy to talk to and open up to as well. Makes it easier to talk about things that are normally hard to discuss. Big shout out to her
Ashley has been very personable and very helpful in helping to navigate the concerns and needs. She is always professional and quick to respond to any questions or concerns that may arise though the week.
Ashley has helped reduce my anxiety through cognitive behavior and mental toughness techniques. She's normalized what I've been experiencing so that I can see it in a more objective light and has taught me several techniques to help manage cognitive distortions.
