About Ashley
Dr. Ashley Ascherl Pechek helps people facing ADHD, anxiety, depression, and stress. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, grief, parenting pressures, trauma, and career concerns.
She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with 15 years of experience in counseling settings. She uses a straightforward, down-to-earth approach in sessions. People can expect a listening first attitude, practical strategies, and work tailored to their life.
She aims to make therapy feel manageable even when problems seem overwhelming.
Background and approach
Her clinical background includes client-centered work and cognitive-behavioral methods. She also draws on emotionally-focused and solution-focused ideas when they fit the issue. That mix lets her match the method to the concern rather than force one style on every person.
In session she focuses on building a strong working relationship and on skills people can use between meetings. That can mean practicing new ways to handle stress, adjusting thought patterns that feed anxiety or depression, or creating steps to manage ADHD-related challenges in daily life. Dr.
Pechek maintains ties to counselor education and supervision through academic work, which keeps her current with counseling practice. She offers counseling via live video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Sessions are offered in English and are provided from Colorado.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on empathetic listening and building a strong working relationship so people feel heard and can explore what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, works on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is useful for anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name emotions and the patterns that affect close relationships, which can be helpful for intimacy and relationship concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean combining approaches across sessions and adjusting tactics as progress is made.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls let people see facial cues and do deeper conversational work. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, tracking progress, or getting support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into work, family life, and other routines.
