About Ashley

Ashley Faison is a New York licensed clinical social worker with two decades of professional experience helping people navigate motivation, self-esteem, career challenges, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

She emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can explore thoughts and feelings openly while working toward clearer goals and greater self-understanding. Her practice blends evidence-informed methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques and client-centered care, with mindfulness and solution-focused tools to address issues such as guilt and shame, questions of life purpose, midlife reevaluation, and workplace concerns.

She also offers coaching-style support for those seeking practical strategies to boost confidence and direction in their personal or professional lives. Ashley aims to meet clients where they are, honoring the courage it takes to begin therapy and partnering with each person to tailor a plan that fits their needs.

She conducts sessions in English and is based in New York, bringing a steady, compassionate presence to the process of change and growth.

Approaches that shape online sessions



Ashley often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical skills for changing thoughts and behaviors; this approach can be useful for improving confidence, managing workplace stress, and coping with life transitions. She also integrates client-centered therapy, which prioritizes empathic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard and supported while exploring goals and values.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Ashley works together with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals and then adapts methods accordingly, making room for flexibility and adjustment as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access that fits varied schedules and lifestyles. These options allow clients to connect from home or on the go, making it easier to maintain consistent work on personal and career challenges while balancing other responsibilities.
