About Ashley
Ashley Stock is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 13 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and the practical strains of parenting and family life. She also supports those coping with grief, career concerns, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related challenges.
Ashley favors straightforward, practical work in sessions. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on what the client brings to the room. She applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practices appear when clients need tools for intense emotions or better emotion regulation.
Sessions often involve talking through current problems, practicing concrete skills, and setting small, achievable goals. She draws on Motivational Interviewing techniques to help people move toward changes they actually want to make. Conversation is collaborative and goal-focused rather than theoretical.
Her background includes helping adults navigate relationship strain, communication problems, divorce and separation concerns, and parenting stress. She also works with people coping with substance use issues, body image, guilt and shame, and social anxiety.
Ashley practices in New York and conducts sessions in English. If you plan to start work with her, follow the site process to match and schedule an initial appointment.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s experience and what matters most to them. Sessions that use this approach prioritize listening, reflecting, and helping the person decide the next steps. It is useful when someone needs a space to sort priorities and make practical decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works by identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors. Online CBT sessions often include homework such as tracking thoughts, practicing behavioral experiments, and rehearsing new responses between meetings. This approach helps with anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Online sessions can teach short exercises and grounding techniques that clients use in the moment to manage intense feelings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ashley will help clients decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration means the plan can shift as needs change and new priorities emerge.
The original profile did not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, allow a shorter check-in during a work break, or let someone choose not to be on camera. Ask about the session types offered and how they might fit into your routine.
