Ashley De VerteuilLISW-CP, LCSW

Ashley De Verteuil is a licensed social worker with 15 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and low self-esteem. She focuses on practical help for everyday struggles, and she emphasizes a nonjudgmental space where clients can speak openly. Ashley invites people to take the first step toward a more fulfilling life and stays alongside them as they work through hard moments.

In sessions she listens for what matters most to each person and helps break problems into manageable steps. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address panic, isolation, guilt, and feelings of shame. Many clients also bring concerns about communication, life purpose, and women's issues, including pregnancy and childbirth-related worries, and Ashley helps people talk through those stresses in straightforward ways.

Ashley aims to make therapy practical. She and the client set reachable goals and try simple tools between sessions, like small behavior changes and breathing practices for panic. Progress is tracked in short check-ins so adjustments can be made when needed.

Her background includes practice across several states and a total of 15 years in clinical roles. Ashley is licensed as an LISW-CP and as an LCSW. She works from New York and conducts sessions in English. This experience informs a calm, steady approach that focuses on daily coping and emotional recovery.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Many clinicians use evidence-based techniques to help with anxiety, panic, trauma, and depression. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence, which can reduce worry and panic. Behavioral strategies emphasize small, practical changes in daily routines and exposure tasks that build confidence and reduce avoidance.

These kinds of approaches work well in collaboration. The therapist will review your goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit your needs. You and the therapist decide together which techniques to try and adjust them as progress is made.

Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what options are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when needed. Some formats can be a good fit for shorter, skills-focused work while others suit longer, deeper conversations; confirming available formats helps set expectations and plan sessions around everyday life.
