About Ashley
Ashley De Verteuil is a Licensed Independent Social Worker with Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of professional experience. She practices in New York and focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Ashley also pays attention to communication problems, guilt and shame, loneliness, and issues around life purpose and women's health.
Ashley asks simple questions and listens for what matters most to each person. Sessions are conversational and focused on understanding how current feelings connect to past experiences and daily choices. She encourages honest talk about hard emotions like shame or guilt so those feelings can be named and looked at without added judgment.
Her approach is practical. She helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck and tries out small changes that can make daily life easier. Work in sessions often includes talking through difficult memories, practicing ways to manage anxiety and panic, and building clearer communication habits.
Ashley has worked across clinical settings over her career, bringing that experience into one-on-one sessions. She supports people navigating pregnancy and childbirth concerns, social anxiety, and stepping through life transitions. Her practice includes focus on self-love and rebuilding confidence after trauma.
To start, she asks about what feels most urgent and what goals a person has for counseling. From there she and the client set an approach and a plan for sessions that feels manageable and focused on real-life change.
Approaches for reducing guilt and easing anxiety online
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques here focus on practical steps. One approach helps people identify patterns of thinking that increase shame and guilt, then practices alternative thoughts and behaviors to reduce their hold. This is useful for repetitive self-blame and ongoing anxiety.Another approach concentrates on managing physiological responses to panic and anxiety through simple grounding and breathing practices paired with guided discussion. That approach aims to make intense moments easier to get through and to reduce avoidance over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their concerns, goals, and what feels workable. Together they choose and adapt methods so sessions match the person's needs and preferences.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping therapy consistent during life changes. Because specific session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online sessions help them maintain momentum, make shorter check-ins possible, and allow scheduling that fits around work, appointments, or childcare.
