About Ashley

Ashley Stock is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in New York who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem difficulties.

Background and approach

With 13 years of clinical experience, she draws on practical, evidence-informed approaches to support clients facing life transitions, compassion fatigue, parenting and career pressures, and a range of mood and anxiety concerns including panic symptoms and social anxiety. Her style blends empathy with structured skills work, aiming to strengthen coping tools, improve communication, and clarify values and goals.

Ashley uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered techniques and mindfulness practices to help clients identify unhelpful patterns, test new behaviors, and cultivate self-compassion. She also incorporates elements of DBT, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies when appropriate.

Clients can expect a collaborative process that prioritizes their goals and personal strengths while addressing issues like grief, family and relationship strain, substance concerns, body image, and questions about life purpose and finances. Ashley offers sessions through several online formats and matches treatment to each person’s needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all plan.

Using CBT and Mindfulness in Online Therapy

Ashley frequently integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy into online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, teaching practical skills to reduce anxiety and manage mood symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and acceptance skills, which can help with stress, rumination, and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different methods, adapting the plan over time rather than assuming a fixed path. Clients participate in choosing techniques and tracking progress so adjustments reflect their needs and pace.

Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it possible to practice skills in real time and between sessions, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options help maintain continuity of care and allow therapists to use worksheets, guided exercises, and conversational coaching across formats to support ongoing growth.
