About Ashley
Ashley Lesperance is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are feeling overwhelmed, stressed, burned out, or having trouble adjusting to life changes. She addresses common concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and low self-esteem.
She uses clear, practical steps in sessions. She focuses on coping skills, boundary setting, and small behavior changes that add up over time. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her approach, used to notice and test unhelpful thoughts and habits.
Ashley also draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s own experience. Solution-focused techniques help identify concrete next steps and short-term goals. Sessions are aimed at making daily life more manageable rather than offering quick fixes.
She works with caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, guilt and shame, self-love, women’s issues, workplace concerns, and young adult issues. She helps people sort through what matters most and try new ways of responding to recurring problems.
Her style is straightforward and structured. People can expect clear suggestions, practice tasks between sessions, and periodic check-ins on progress. This approach is meant to help build practical skills for managing stress and improving confidence.
How Ashley uses CBT and focused methods for online work
Ashley often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test different ways of responding. CBT sessions tend to include tracking thought patterns, trying small behavior changes, and reviewing what worked between meetings.She also uses client-centered techniques that center the person’s own experience and priorities, allowing conversations to guide what to focus on next. Solution-focused methods are used to set practical short-term goals and identify concrete next steps that can be tried right away.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Ashley collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That assessment happens early and is reviewed as progress is made.
The practical benefits of online work can include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy day. When considering formats, confirm the specific session options before booking since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it simpler to keep regular check-ins, try brief midweek touch-ins, or avoid travel time so that practice between meetings is more likely to happen.
