About Ashley

They also support those facing relationship and intimacy challenges, struggles with self-esteem, and people coping with life changes or addiction. Ashley offers practical, skills-based work so clients can feel more steady day to day.

Ashley uses a DBT-informed approach to teach tools like distress tolerance, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on learning concrete skills that reduce emotional intensity and improve communication. The pace is collaborative and focused on what the person needs in daily life. Therapy also draws on psychodynamic and existential ideas to look at patterns from the past and at how meaning and identity shape present experience.

Trauma-focused methods are used when past harm is a central issue. Ashley blends short-term, solution-focused steps with deeper work as needed. People can expect clear, direct conversations about what is getting in the way and practical steps to try between meetings.

The therapist emphasizes building on existing strengths and breaking problems into manageable parts. Sessions are offered in English and provided remotely via a variety of formats. Ashley holds the New York LMHC credential (NY LMHC 012028) and has eight years of clinical experience.

The practice centers on helping clients identify goals, try new strategies, and make steady progress toward feeling more in control.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, focuses on teaching specific skills for handling intense emotions, tolerating distress, improving relationships, and staying present. It is useful when strong emotional reactions or impulsive behavior get in the way of daily life.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on helping people process past hurt and reduce its impact on current functioning. It aims to help clients feel more grounded and less ruled by traumatic memories or reactions.

The therapist also uses psychodynamic ideas to help identify patterns that repeat across relationships and time, giving a clearer sense of why some problems keep returning.

Choosing the best approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then tailor methods and pacing to match those needs. That conversation continues as work progresses so adjustments can be made together.

Online therapy with Ashley is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes scheduling easier around busy family and work routines. These options let people use the format that fits them best, whether they prefer face-to-face video or quick check-ins by message. Remote sessions make it simpler to keep consistent work on skills and to use strategies between meetings.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Exploring how earlier relationships and patterns still shape the present, often over a longer stretch of time. It relies on conversation and reflection rather than exercises.
