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 practice. She works with adults who feel overwhelmed, stressed, burned out, or who are having trouble adjusting to life changes. Her stated focus includes stress, anxiety, self-esteem, relationship concerns, grief, depression, and codependency issues.
Ashley aims to help people slow down and feel heard. Sessions often concentrate on practical coping skills and clearer boundaries. She talks with clients about building confidence and fitting small changes into daily life.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thought patterns and try concrete behavior changes. Solution-Focused techniques support setting short-term goals and noticing progress quickly.
Ashley often works with caregivers and people experiencing compassion fatigue. She also addresses workplace stress, communication problems, guilt and shame, women's issues, self-love, and young adult challenges. The emphasis is on everyday tools rather than abstract ideas.
Sessions are described as collaborative and practical. Prospective clients are encouraged to consider what they want to change and to bring specific situations to early meetings. The therapist’s stated aim is to help people create more balance in their routines and relationships.
How sessions work
How Ashley’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. In practice this means sessions begin by asking what is most pressing and following the client’s priorities to understand their experience.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses straightforward exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood, and patterns that keep people stuck.
Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, achievable goals and tracking progress over a few sessions. It suits people who want concrete steps and quick feedback on what changes are working.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and how the client prefers to work. That choice can shift as things change.
Practical benefits of working online include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life. Confirm the current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it simpler to have regular check-ins, practice skills between meetings, and maintain momentum when life is hectic.
