About Ashley

Dr. Ashley Ascherl Pechek is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado who helps people facing depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also supports those coping with life changes, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD challenges, and trauma. Her work aims to help people feel heard and more capable in daily life.

She brings about 15 years of counseling experience across community and educational settings. Ashley earned a Master of Arts in Community Counseling and a Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision. She balances clinical work with a faculty role in an online counseling program.

Ashley uses an integrative, client-centered approach to tailor sessions to each person. She often combines cognitive behavioral techniques, solution-focused strategies, and trauma-informed ideas to address specific problems. Sessions focus on identifying practical steps, building coping skills, and exploring patterns that get in the way of feeling better.

In sessions she prioritizes building a strong working relationship so people feel validated and understood. She works at a measured pace and adjusts methods to match each person’s needs and readiness. The goal is to support clearer thinking and more effective choices over time.

If someone is considering starting therapy, Ashley asks them to describe their main concerns and goals so she can match the plan to those priorities. People who want to begin complete a short questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to available times.

This summary is based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person and their goals, with the therapist listening closely and following the client’s lead to build trust and clarity. It helps people who need a supportive space to sort out feelings and make decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect; it uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns and can be useful for depression, anxiety, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotional patterns in relationships and within oneself, helping people notice and shift how they respond to strong feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses needs and goals with each person and then suggests methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as goals evolve or new issues come up.

For online therapy logistics, confirm which session formats are offered before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. Online work can also make it easier to use worksheets, share links, and practice homework between sessions. Licensed professionals use these methods to help people make steady progress while accommodating everyday schedules.
