About Ashley
Ashley De Verteuil is a licensed social worker with 15 years of experience. She holds LISW-CP and LCSW credentials and practices in New York. She helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma and abuse, and related concerns such as social anxiety and phobia.
Ashley focuses on clear, practical work in sessions. She encourages people to describe what they are facing and to set straightforward goals. Conversations are aimed at understanding daily patterns, triggers, and small changes that can reduce distress over time.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address panic attacks, isolation, guilt and shame, communication problems, and life transitions like pregnancy and childbirth. Sessions also cover questions about life purpose and self-love. The tone is direct and respectful, with attention to concrete steps people can try between meetings.
Ashley has worked across multiple states and draws on a broad clinical background. She explains options and next steps so people know what to expect from the early sessions. Her practice in New York reflects her ongoing experience supporting adults through practical coping strategies.
To begin, she asks people to identify specific concerns and recent patterns that feel most urgent. That helps shape the first few sessions and the short-term plan. People are encouraged to bring specific examples of difficult situations to discuss in session.
Remote work with practical therapeutic approaches
Ashley uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at reducing symptoms and improving daily functioning. One common approach focuses on recognizing and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it helps with anxiety, panic attacks, and negative self-talk by teaching specific skills to try in real situations. Another approach emphasizes gradual exposure to feared social situations in manageable steps, which can reduce avoidance and build confidence through repeated practice.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ashley collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, pace, and comfort. She discusses what to try first and reviews how techniques are working, adjusting plans as needed so clients can see what helps most.
The practical benefits of remote sessions are that they can fit into busy schedules and reduce time spent traveling. Confirm current session options before booking if you need a particular format, since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to maintain regular check-ins, try in-the-moment strategies between sessions, and use shorter contacts for brief follow-ups when life is busy.
