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 feel overwhelmed, stressed, burned out, or are adjusting to life changes. Her practice also addresses concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and issues around guilt and shame.
Ashley focuses on practical coping skills you can use between sessions. She talks through boundary-setting, communication strategies, and ways to rebuild confidence after hard experiences. Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented, with space to reflect on feelings and make small changes that add up.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods that prioritize your perspective. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thought patterns and try different responses. She also uses solution-focused ideas to set short-term goals and track progress.
Ashley has experience supporting people facing caregiver stress, codependency, workplace challenges, and concerns common to young adults and women. She will listen to what matters most and help you choose practical next steps. The pace is adjusted to what feels manageable, whether you want quick skill-building or more time to process.
Sessions are conducted in English and reflect six years of practice with adults dealing with life stressors. Before booking, confirm current session options so you know how the first meeting will be set up.
How her approaches translate to online work
Ashley uses client-centered therapy to prioritize the client’s perspective and goals, focusing on listening and reflecting what matters most. This approach helps when people want to talk through feelings of guilt or shame and decide which concerns to address first.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to notice and test unhelpful thoughts and to practice different responses. CBT is practical for anxiety, low mood, and worries that keep repeating in the mind.
She also draws on solution-focused therapy to set short-term, achievable goals and track small steps forward. That method can be helpful when someone wants concrete change and measurable progress over a few sessions.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is a collaborative process. Ashley will work with the client to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences rather than insisting on one fixed model. Together they will check what is helping and adjust the plan as they go.
Session format details should be confirmed before booking since the therapist’s biography does not list specific formats. In general, online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. If you need help deciding how to arrange sessions around work, caregiving, or other commitments, this will be discussed when you set up the first appointment.
