About Ashley
Ashley Stevens is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in West Virginia with seven years of experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Her work is practical and focused on actions people can try between sessions.
She uses clear, structured methods that look at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. That includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and parts of Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Sessions mix talking, skill practice, and short exercises to try new ways of responding to problems.
Ashley keeps sessions direct and goal-focused. She helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and test different responses. She also teaches simple coping skills for strong emotions and everyday stressors.
Her style is interactive. Clients can expect to set concrete goals and check progress each week. Homework is common - short practices to build new habits outside of sessions.
In addition to the practical tools, she pays attention to relationship patterns and how past experiences shape current reactions. Over time, the aim is to reduce symptoms and increase the ability to handle life changes more calmly and clearly.
How CBT and DBT inform online sessions
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new responses. In practice that means noticing a thought, testing whether it is accurate, and trying a different behavior to see if feelings change. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, and stress. DBT emphasizes practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving moment-to-moment coping. That includes short skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance that can be practiced between sessions to reduce reactivity. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT, DBT skills, or a mix fits best based on goals and preferences. This happens through discussion, short assessments, and trying out techniques to see what works in daily life. Confirm the specific session options before booking, as session formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow brief check-ins when time is limited, and let people practice skills in real-life settings. If someone prefers a shorter phone check-in or a longer video session, these practical differences help decide which format to choose.Areas of expertise
