About Ashley
Ashley Faison is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of practice in New York. She helps people who are struggling with motivation, self-esteem, career concerns, or major life transitions. Her style is direct and compassionate, aimed at making the first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.
Ashley creates a calm space where people can talk about their thoughts and feelings without judgment. She listens closely and works collaboratively to set realistic goals.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on concrete tools and small changes that build confidence over time. Her work blends body-focused awareness with practical talk therapy. She uses somatic approaches to help people notice how stress shows up in the body, and she pairs that with strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy to shift unhelpful thinking.
Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are also woven into sessions to support clearer decisions and stronger self-direction. Ashley has supported clients through issues like guilt and shame, questions about life purpose, midlife crossroads, and workplace stress. She also helps people navigating young adult challenges and those wanting to grow self-love.
The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Sessions are offered in English and take place through online formats. Ashley encourages small steps and practical plans so clients can try new approaches between meetings.
Signing up begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling that fits each person’s needs.
Approaches for mind and body in online therapy
Somatic Therapy helps people tune into physical sensations and notice how stress lives in the body. It can be useful for those who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from their own energy. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following each person’s pace; it supports self-directed change through empathy and reflection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful thinking and reactions.Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. Ashley treats the choice of methods as collaborative and will help figure out what fits your needs, goals, and preferences. Together you can try different techniques and adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let you keep a face-to-face connection from home, while phone sessions can be simpler when screens feel like too much. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, and daily routines while still working toward steady progress.
