Ashella Fletcher
Hi, I’m Ashella Fletcher, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida, Tennessee, and Kentucky. I have several years of experience in behavioral health and help people work through anxiety, grief, trauma, and difficult life changes.
When life feels overwhelming, I help you slow things down and sort out what needs your attention first.
I’m warm and easygoing, and I want you to feel comfortable being yourself as we talk through what’s weighing on you and find practical ways to cope.
First session
In our first session, we’ll get to know each other and talk about what brought you to therapy and what you’d like help with. If you’re unsure where to start, I’ll guide the conversation with a few questions, and you can share at a pace that feels comfortable. You’ll have time to ask questions, and before we finish, we’ll talk about what you’d like to focus on next.
Strengths
I’m easygoing, I listen closely, and I ask questions that help you put words to what you’re feeling. When life feels overwhelming, I help you slow things down and sort out what needs your attention first. We’ll make room for what’s on your mind and work together to find a next step that feels doable in your everyday life.
Ideal clients
You might be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, grieving someone you love, or trying to find your footing after a major life change. Maybe you’re getting through the day but replaying conversations at night, second-guessing yourself, or wondering why something from the past still affects you. You may want to feel more like yourself, speak up about what you need, or handle stress without feeling drained by it. It’s okay if you’re new to therapy or unsure where to start. We can begin with whatever feels most important to you and take it one step at a time.
Origin story
I was drawn to the social work profession because I wanted to be there for people during moments when life felt overwhelming. I’ve always cared about hearing people’s stories and understanding what they’ve had to carry. Becoming a social worker gave me a way to turn that care into meaningful therapeutic support.
Ongoing work together
In our ongoing sessions, we’ll talk about what’s been happening in your life, notice patterns together, and practice tools you can use between sessions. We’ll check in on the goals you set and adjust our focus as your needs change. Progress might look like catching a worry before it takes over, speaking up about what you need, or feeling more like yourself after a hard day.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you understand how your thoughts, feelings, and actions affect one another. We’ll start with a real situation from your life and look at what went through your mind, how you felt, and what you did next. For example, if a mistake at work leaves you thinking, “I can’t do anything right,” we might slow down, look at what actually happened, and find a more balanced way to talk to yourself. Together, we’ll choose a small step you can try between sessions and talk about what you noticed when we meet again.
