About Ashley
Ashley Capone helps people who are worn down by stress, anxiety, depression, or the strain of life changes. They support clients dealing with relationship and intimacy issues, grief, trauma, addiction concerns, career strain, and low self-esteem. Ashley offers clear, skills-based help so people can manage intense emotions and communicate more effectively.
Ashley practices as a licensed mental health counselor - LMHC - based in New York and brings eight years of experience to each session.
Background and approach
They use practical DBT-informed skills such as distress tolerance, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. These tools aim to reduce emotional intensity and make everyday reactions easier to handle. Sessions blend concrete skill teaching with deeper work on patterns and meaning.
Ashley draws on psychodynamic and existential ideas to look at long-standing patterns, attachment, and questions about purpose. Trauma-focused methods are used when past experiences are affecting day-to-day life. Ashley also uses solution-focused techniques to set small, achievable goals and track progress.
The approach is collaborative and paced to each person's needs, balancing short-term relief with longer-term growth. Themes like abandonment, guilt, shame, dissociation, and body image are often addressed directly. Ashley is mindful of how culture and identity shape experience and brings that awareness into sessions.
Therapy is offered in English and is available via a mix of remote formats to fit different schedules and needs.
How evidence-based approaches work online
The therapist uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy to guide much of the work. DBT focuses on teaching four core skill sets - distress tolerance, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness - to help people handle intense feelings and improve relationships. Trauma-Focused Therapy aims to address the effects of past traumatic experiences and reduce their impact on daily life through targeted interventions and processing.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and concerns and then recommend which methods to try first. Sessions can shift over time - for example starting with skills training and moving toward deeper psychodynamic or existential work as needs change.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexible care. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and detailed work, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for shorter check-ins, skill coaching between sessions, and options when a session without video is preferred. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue care when in-person visits are not practical.
