Getting to know Ashley Mcguffee

I am a licensed therapist with Empower Psychotherapy and a graduate of The University of Louisiana at Monroe with a Master’s of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy. With over 26 years of clinical experience, I have worked with diverse ages, ethnicities, and cultural backgrounds across various diagnostic classifications. I am an experienced LPC-S and board-approved supervisor in Louisiana, and I am also a licensed LCMHC in North Carolina. As a telehealth therapist licensed in NC, I specialize in teletherapy assessment and diagnoses. Whether you are seeking an online therapist for complex trauma or a telehealth psychologist perspective for family dynamics, I provide expert mental health services online rooted in a systemic approach.

What should a new client know about working with you?

When you work with me, you will experience a therapeutic environment defined by unconditional positive regard and a nonjudgmental attitude. My style as a telehealth therapist near me for North Carolina residents is "low key" and fueled by a fair amount of optimism. In our online therapy sessions, I utilize a mix of CBT—which helps us measure progress—and motivational interviewing, which I find to be more people-friendly. I recognize that seeking therapy online can feel frightening, but I am committed to making this a supportive experience where you feel guided rather than judged. My goal for telehealth for behavioral health is to help you navigate everything from ADHD and depression to burnout and COVID-related trauma.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My process begins with a collaborative approach, based on the belief that you are already trying your best with your current problem-solving strategies but may simply need guidance on more effective ones. During our telehealth psychotherapy sessions, I integrate modalities such as CBT, DBT, and motivational interviewing to tailor care for both children and adults. A typical session of telehealth counseling might address specialized areas such as anger, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or insomnia. I have a deep clinical expertise in grief related to pregnancy and child loss, as well as counseling victims of gaslighting and narcissistic relationships. Through these telehealth therapy services, I constantly explore new treatment approaches to ensure you receive the most effective, up-to-date care.
