About Ashley
Ashley Burns is an MT Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Montana with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting strain, low self-esteem, depression, family challenges, and trauma and abuse. Ashley also pays attention to attachment issues and women's concerns. She works with adults seeking clearer ways to manage the demands at home and in relationships.
Ashley usually begins by listening to the immediate problem and what the person wants to change. She uses straightforward conversation and questions to help people name patterns that cause pain. Sessions are practical and paced to fit what a person can handle between visits.
Her work draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds shape current relationships. She also uses Internal Family Systems to help people notice different parts of themselves and how those parts interact. These approaches are explained and tried together so people can see what helps.
Ashley aims to help people who feel overwhelmed by parenting responsibilities or stuck in repeating relationship cycles. She offers a steady, matter-of-fact style that focuses on small shifts and clear steps. Many people come for help with anxiety, low confidence, grief, or past hurt and abuse.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Ashley works with Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current behavior. This approach helps people understand why certain relationship patterns keep repeating and what can change in day-to-day interactions.She also uses Internal Family Systems to help people recognize different parts of themselves and how those parts respond under stress. That work can reduce inner conflict and make decisions feel clearer by giving attention to the parts that worry, protect, or withdraw.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ashley discusses options with each person and adapts her style based on their goals and preferences. She treats the choice of methods as a collaboration rather than a fixed plan, and she checks in regularly about what is and isn't working.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking since options are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit short check-ins into a busy day, avoid travel time, or use video when seeing facial cues matters. Therapists can also adapt exercises for an online setting, such as guided noticing of internal parts or in-session role practice, so the same therapeutic ideas can be explored remotely.
