About Ashley
Ashley Becker is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Minnesota. She brings eight years of clinical experience and a clear, steady presence to sessions. She focuses on practical goals and straightforward strategies to help people manage stress, mood challenges, and life transitions.
Ashley prefers a person-centered style that invites clients to lead the work. She listens closely, helps clarify goals, and offers tools when they fit. Sessions can include skills from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy as needed.
Background and approach
Her background includes work in inpatient hospital settings and community mental health. That experience shaped her comfort with a range of diagnoses and with building group therapy programs. She uses that experience to match interventions to each person’s situation.
In sessions she mixes focused skill teaching with open conversation. She emphasizes small, doable steps. She also values humor and ordinary moments of relief during hard work.
Ashley often helps people facing anxiety, depression, bipolar mood shifts, trauma, and substance concerns. She also addresses relationship and family stress, parenting challenges, grief, sleep and eating struggles, attention differences, and issues around guilt, shame, or isolation. Her approach aims to reduce overwhelm and build practical coping skills.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice uncomfortable thoughts and feelings while focusing on what matters most to them. It encourages small actions that match personal values rather than getting stuck on trying to control every feeling. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns and manage mood and anxiety.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Ashley collaborates with each person to weigh what feels most useful based on goals, needs, and daily life. That may mean trying a skill-based plan for a while or combining methods to fit changing needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. These formats let people fit sessions around school, work, or parenting, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can teach the same CBT and ACT skills through these formats, and Ashley uses whichever option best supports learning and follow-through.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
