About Ashley
Ashley De Verteuil helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She offers calm, direct support to guide people toward clearer thinking and steadier emotions. Ashley works to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.
With 15 years of professional experience, Ashley brings practical problem-solving to conversations. She focuses on immediate coping skills and longer-term ways to build confidence and motivation.
Background and approach
Sessions often include talking through what feels overwhelming and trying small, doable steps forward. Ashley holds licenses as LISW-CP and LCSW and practices from New York. She centers the person in front of her rather than labels or assumptions.
That means tailoring conversations to each person’s pace and priorities. People whose concerns include panic attacks, social anxiety, guilt and shame, or isolation often work on breathing and grounding techniques, role-playing difficult conversations, and planning gradual exposure to feared situations. For pregnancy and childbirth related concerns or women's issues, conversations focus on expectations, coping, and building supports.
Ashley aims to make therapy practical and reachable. She helps people break big problems into manageable tasks and notices progress along the way.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Two approaches Ashley uses are practical skill-building and trauma-focused work. Practical skill-building means learning specific tools such as breathing, grounding, planning, and behavioral steps to reduce anxiety and manage mood. Trauma-focused work involves careful pacing, processing upsetting memories when ready, and strengthening coping strategies so memories feel less overwhelming.Ashley treats choosing the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences and then try methods that fit. Together they check progress and adjust methods so the work stays helpful and realistic.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging makes sessions easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper interaction. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or people prefer not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging can support quick check-ins, therapy between sessions, or shorter conversations when a full session is not possible. These options provide flexibility so people can find a rhythm that works with their schedule and needs.
