About Ashley
Ashley Capone is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. They also support people dealing with trauma, grief, addictions, ADHD, and struggles with self-esteem or intimacy. Ashley writes in plain terms and focuses on skills people can use right away.
Ashley draws on eight years of clinical experience to create practical plans for change. Sessions often focus on building emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills.
How Ashley works
The goal is to reduce intense feelings and make it easier to speak up so others can respond more helpfully. Ashley blends DBT-informed work with trauma-focused and psychodynamic ideas. That means skills training gets paired with looking at patterns that started earlier in life.
Existential and solution-focused ideas also shape therapy by helping people clarify meaning and set manageable goals. Ashley pays attention to how social context and power dynamics affect a person's experience. They use a feminist lens to notice how systems and identity influence goals and options.
Therapy balances addressing what can change and accepting what cannot. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Conversations are collaborative and paced to each person's needs.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to connect with Ashley.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches work online
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, focuses on teaching concrete skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving how people relate to others. Online DBT-informed sessions often include practice of these skills and short in-session exercises to build new habits.Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on addressing the effects of traumatic experiences and reducing trauma-related symptoms. In an online setting this can involve grounding techniques, processing in manageable steps, and collaborating on pacing so the work feels tolerable.
Ashley approaches therapy as a collaborative process. They will help clients figure out which approach or mix of approaches fits best based on current goals, symptoms, and preferences. That means trying things, checking in about what helps, and adjusting direction together.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching between sessions, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and maintain regular contact with a licensed professional.
