Anxiety Therapist for Women in Salt Lake City, Utah (Online)
ASHLEE HUNT LCSW
Hi, I’m Ashlee!
Hey! I’m not here to throw therapy jargon at you; that’s boring and, honestly, not helpful. You’re probably just trying to figure out if I’ll actually get you and be able to help. So here’s what I think you’ll want to know:
I provide anxiety therapy for women in Salt Lake City, Utah, and throughout the state through online therapy. I specialize in working with women who carry a lot: worry, responsibility, people-pleasing, body image struggles, and a deep fear of being “too much” or “not enough” at the same time. Many of the women I work with also struggle with their relationship with food or their bodies, even if anxiety is what brought them to therapy in the first place.
My clients tell me I’m gentle, warm, and genuine. I want you to feel truly seen and validated for the painful things you’ve been carrying around. At the same time, I’m not afraid to bring humor into the room when it’s needed. Therapy can be heavy, and a little laughter can make the process a lot more human. I also know how big of a deal it is to share things you’ve never said out loud before. I’ll respect that vulnerability every step of the way. Therapy can be hard, but it’s also where real healing begins, and it can change everything.
Who I Work With
I love working with women in their 20s, 30s, and 40s who struggle with anxiety and eating disorders (even if you don’t realize anxiety is part of it yet). The women I work with are smart, kind, and goal-oriented, and they’re also some of the hardest workers I’ve ever known. That mix of kindness and determination is such a powerful recipe for change.
I do my best work with women who are ready to dig in, face what’s been holding them back, and actually do the work it takes to feel better. If you’re tired of being stuck in worry, fighting with your body, or feeling like you’re “never enough,” I’d love to help you get to the life you want.
Why I Do This Work
I’ve been learning about and caring deeply for women with eating disorders, body image struggles, and anxiety for more than half my life. This work isn’t just a career path for me, but it’s something I feel deeply connected to. I’ve seen how much suffering women carry, how hard they work to hold everything together, and how rarely they feel truly understood in that.
Your story matters here. Your experiences matter. And your pain makes sense in the context of what you’ve lived. Therapy is a place to finally make sense of those patterns and begin to relate to yourself with more understanding and kindness.
Outside of Therapy
Outside of sessions, I’m hanging out with my two Goldendoodles, riding my bike through Snow Canyon State Park (seriously, everyone should try it at least once), or riding my scooter with my husband. I love being outdoors and finding little ways to enjoy life, the same kind of balance I hope my clients get to build for themselves.

Education & Training
Okay, this is the boring stuff…
I graduated from Southern Utah University in Cedar City with two bachelor’s degrees, one in Psychology and one in Family Life and Human Development. After that, I went on to earn my Master’s in Social Work from Utah State University in Logan. Just for fun, I later came back to USU as an adjunct professor, teaching future social workers the foundations of practice.
Over the years, I’ve worked in a variety of settings:
Residential treatment centers with at-risk youth and adolescents in foster care.
Center for Change, an inpatient eating disorder hospital, where I worked with adolescent and adult women at all levels of care.
I’m also trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), which I believe is a powerful tool for trauma work and healing.
Yes, I know you’ll probably read through this site 10–15 times before reaching out. That’s okay. I’d do the same thing. When you’re ready, I’ll be here. I’m committed to helping you get better and move toward the life you’ve been wanting.
