Ashley Lesperance

Ashley Lesperance is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia. She works with adults who feel overwhelmed, stressed, burned out, or who are having trouble adjusting to life changes. Ashley aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can slow down and be heard.

In sessions she focuses on practical skills. That includes coping strategies for stress and anxiety, setting healthier boundaries, and building self-confidence. She also helps people manage grief, compassion fatigue, and relationship strain. The work is rooted in everyday steps that can fit into a busy life.

Ashley draws from client-centered therapy to keep the conversation focused on each person's needs and values. She uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. Solution-focused techniques help set short-term goals and track progress.

She has six years of clinical experience and brings a straightforward, supportive style to sessions. Common topics she addresses include workplace stress, caregiver strain, codependency, guilt and shame, and young adult concerns. Sessions are aimed at clear, achievable changes rather than vague promises.

People who choose Ashley typically want a therapist who listens first, then helps build practical plans. If someone is looking for help coping with life changes, reducing anxiety, or restoring balance, Ashley offers a steady, collaborative approach to that work.

Practical therapy approaches for online care

Ashley uses client-centered therapy to keep sessions focused on what matters most to the person sitting across from her. That means she listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people choose goals that fit their values and daily life.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. This approach helps when anxiety, low mood, or unhelpful thinking patterns are making daily tasks harder. Solution-focused therapy is used to set short-term, measurable goals and try small changes that add up over time.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Ashley will work with each person to decide which methods feel most useful, and she adjusts plans based on progress and preferences. The emphasis is on what helps the individual move toward clearer thinking and better balance.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support continuity of care while someone handles life transitions or workplace demands.
