About Ashley
Dr. Ashley Ascherl Pechek is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 15 years of experience. She helps people with relationship concerns, anxiety, depression, stress, grief, trauma and abuse, ADHD, parenting questions, career strain, and issues related to LGBT identity and compassion fatigue.
Her sessions are straightforward and goal-focused. She uses clear tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and habits, then tries different ways of responding. Dr. Pechek draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and emotionally-focused techniques to guide practical change.
Her background includes a Master of Arts in Community Counseling and a Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision. She has worked in varied counseling settings and also teaches in an online counseling program. That mix gives her experience with clinical practice and training other counselors.
In session she focuses on building a working relationship, noticing patterns that cause distress, and practicing alternative responses. Techniques may include brief cognitive and behavioral exercises, solution-focused steps, and emotionally-oriented conversations depending on the concern.
People who choose her often want concrete ways to reduce stress, improve relationships, or manage difficult emotions. She asks about goals early and uses that information to shape the work going forward. If someone wants to start, they are directed to the matching and scheduling process to set up a first session.
How Dr. Pechek applies structured approaches in online work
Dr. Pechek commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thinking and behavior patterns that maintain distress. CBT sessions focus on practical experiments, thought records, and small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or depression symptoms.She also uses client-centered methods that emphasize listening and reflecting to help people clarify goals and feel understood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used when relationship patterns and attachment-related emotions are central; this approach helps name feelings and explore how they shape interactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She and the client review concerns, goals, and preferences and then try methods that seem likely to help. That collaborative process may mean blending techniques across sessions as needs evolve.
