About Ashley
Ashley Becker is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Minnesota. She brings eight years of clinical experience helping people who are managing mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, and other mental health concerns. Ashley aims to make therapy a practical, down-to-earth process.
She prefers to walk alongside people as they work toward clearer goals and better day-to-day functioning. Ashley has experience in inpatient and outpatient settings and has run group therapy programs.
How Ashley works
She has supported people facing depression, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive challenges, post-traumatic stress, substance use issues, and other serious mental health conditions. That background shapes a calm, steady approach in sessions. Her style is grounded in client-centered work and includes tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness.
Sessions focus on concrete skills, values-based action, and clearer thinking about problems. She balances skill teaching with space to reflect and process. Ashley pays attention to how attachment, communication patterns, and codependency can affect relationships and wellbeing.
She also supports people navigating grief, career stress, parenting strains, sleep and eating concerns, and problems with anger or impulsivity. The focus is on small, sustainable changes that add up over time. People who prefer a straightforward, compassionate guide may find this approach helpful.
Ashley aims to make sessions practical, sometimes light-hearted, and always collaborative. She works in English and practices across online formats to meet different needs.

Online support options
Approaches that fit online therapy
Ashley uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors. CBT is practical and often focuses on specific problems like anxiety, depression, or sleep troubles.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT techniques can be useful for managing strong emotions, impulsivity, and relationship conflict.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is another approach Ashley uses to help people clarify their values and take small steps toward them. ACT is helpful for people who feel stuck by avoidance or worry and want a values-guided plan.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ashley will discuss your goals and preferences and adjust techniques over time so therapy fits your needs. That process is collaborative and paced to what feels useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls are helpful when visual connection and in-depth conversation matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing support between longer sessions.
These options make it easier to fit care into a busy life and to use different formats for different purposes while working with licensed professionals.
