About Ashley
Ashley De Verteuil is a licensed social worker with 15 years of experience who practices as LISW-CP and LCSW in New York. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and people coping with life changes. Her focus also includes communication problems, guilt and shame, loneliness, and questions about life purpose.
Ashley prefers straightforward conversations that name what feels stuck or overwhelming. Sessions involve talking through recent events, identifying patterns that keep problems active, and trying small changes between meetings. She pays attention to how symptoms like panic attacks or social anxiety show up in daily routines and relationships.
Her work draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and build practical coping skills. She explains tools simply and practices them together with clients so people feel more confident using them on their own. Expect clear, step-by-step suggestions rather than vague advice.
Ashley has supported people through pregnancy and childbirth related stress as well as women’s issues linked to identity and life transitions. She also addresses feelings of isolation and the shame that often follows mistakes or setbacks. Conversations aim to reduce overwhelm and open options for small, meaningful change.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow professional social work standards. Prospective clients choose a matching questionnaire to begin and then schedule a first appointment. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online work
Evidence-based techniques are central to Ashley’s practice. Cognitive-behavioral style methods focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes. These methods are useful for anxiety, panic attacks, and low mood because they break problems into manageable steps. Trauma-informed ideas emphasize pacing and safety, helping people notice triggers, calm physiological reactions, and build tolerance for difficult memories or feelings.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Ashley will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try first and adjust the plan based on what feels most useful in real life.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy schedule by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and making it easier to attend during work breaks. Licensed professionals can also use phone-based check-ins when video is impractical, which can require less bandwidth and feel simpler for some people. These practical benefits make it easier to keep continuity while working through stress, anxiety, life purpose questions, and other concerns.
