Ashley Lesperance, LMHC, LPC

Ashley Lesperance is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps adults feeling overwhelmed or burned out. She offers a calm, judgment-free space where people can slow down and feel heard before deciding what to address next. Ashley focuses on practical steps rather than long lectures, and she aims to make small changes that matter day to day.

She commonly supports people managing stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. Caregiver issues and compassion fatigue are a regular focus, along with relationship strain, codependency, workplace problems, and young adult concerns. Ashley also helps with self-esteem, guilt and shame, and learning to practice self-love.

In sessions she draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means conversations center on each person’s goals, thinking patterns are noticed and tested, and clear short-term steps are set to move forward. She blends these approaches to fit what a person needs in the moment.

Ashley has six years of clinical experience and holds licensure in New York as an LMHC and in Virginia as an LPC. She works with adults seeking help for life transitions and ongoing stress. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted.

To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and then schedules according to therapist availability. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches work for online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The therapist follows each person’s lead and helps them clarify goals and values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior. It helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try different ways of responding to daily stressors.

Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on immediate steps and small changes that move someone toward their goals. It is useful for setting practical tasks and measuring progress week to week.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can shift over time as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce commuting time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try therapy from different settings and see which rhythm feels most helpful for ongoing work.
