I'm a southern tumbleweed at heart. Over fifteen years ago, I traded the hustle and bustle of Charleston, South Carolina, for the rural countryside of Oklahoma. I enjoy the outdoors and in my free time I'm taking in the quiet peace that comes with the Sooner State.

I'm a graduate of Southeastern Oklahoma State University. I earned my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with the goal of serving rural Oklahomans that otherwise would not have access to mental health resources.

I've had the opportunity to work with diverse populations ranging from early childhood to late adulthood. Throughout my years it has become apparent to me that my calling is to help those who feel alone in their environment and to establish a connection with others in a way that is empowering, creates autonomy, and establishes a better sense of self and relationships with others.

Life doesn't come with a roadmap — but building one is exactly what we do together.

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 17 years of experience working with youth, adults, families, and military communities across school, clinical, and community settings. I've sat with people in some of the most demanding circumstances imaginable — from inpatient mental health facilities to active military bases — and I've learned that what helps most isn't a script. It's connection, clarity, and a practical plan that actually fits your life.

I grew up on a farm, where I learned early that hard work and determination lead to better outcomes. That belief has shaped every corner of my career — and how I show up for every person I work with.

Ashley Briggs

Ashley Briggs

Therapist

Virtual • Oklahoma


Hi, I’m Ashley, a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor, National Certified Counselor and Registered Play Therapist passionate about supporting children, teens, adults, and families through life’s challenges with greater understanding, connection, and confidence.

My clinical background is deeply rooted in infant and early childhood mental health, attachment, trauma, emotional regulation, and strengthening relationships within families. Over the years, my work has expanded to include adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, parenting stress, burnout, and feeling disconnected from themselves or others.

One area I am especially passionate about is supporting individuals during pregnancy, postpartum, and the early parenting years. I feel deeply called to support mothers and parents as they navigate the emotional, relational, and identity shifts that can come with bringing new life into the world.

I believe healing happens when people feel safe, seen, and genuinely understood. My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are—without judgment, pressure, or the need to have it all figured out.

As a seasoned therapist of 20 years, my experience has allowed me to work in various facets of mental health, including home-based therapy, residential care, school, inpatient and an outpatient clinic setting. I have treated all ages, from little ones to geriatric adults. For over the past decade, my treatment focus has been working with marginalized communities dealing with significant trauma and chronic health issues. I believe there is no problem that is too big or too insignificant, that therapy can’t help.
