About Ashley
Ashley Kohler is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who helps people handle anger and relationship stress in practical ways. She speaks plainly and focuses on clear goals that fit each person's life. Many people come to her when parenting, career shifts, or big life changes feel overwhelming.
Ashley uses approaches that break problems into manageable steps. She often helps clients spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Sessions tend to include skill work, role practice, and planning for real situations outside therapy.
Background and approach
She trained at Walden University and earned a Master of Social Work in 2022. Since then she has five years of experience working with adolescents, people in early recovery from substance use, and people without stable housing. That background informs how she responds to practical barriers and stressors clients face.
Ashley also holds a graduate certificate in Children and Families and is certified as a School Social Worker PK-12. She draws on attachment ideas and family-focused methods when relevant to a client's goals. She frames work from a strengths-based perspective and centers what the client wants to change.
Typical focus areas include relationship difficulties, parenting concerns, anger, career questions, and coping with life changes. Additional topics she addresses are communication trouble, finding life purpose, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, self-harm thoughts, self-love, and young adult issues.

Approaches that guide online work and flexible care
Ashley commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice how thoughts affect feelings and actions. That approach breaks problems into small steps and teaches practical skills for handling anger, anxiety, or relationship tension.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques which focus on emotion regulation and coping skills. These strategies are useful for managing intense feelings and improving communication in heated moments.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Ashley will work with each person to try techniques that match their goals and preferences, and adjust plans when something isn’t working. The aim is to build useful skills that fit everyday life.
Online sessions can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and skills practice, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and chat or messaging can be handy for quick updates or mid-week support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different routines.
