About Ashley
Ashley Becker is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Minnesota with eight years of direct counseling experience. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, mood changes, addiction, and parenting concerns. Her style is warm and down-to-earth and she aims to make sessions feel practical and approachable.
Ashley centers her work on a person-centered approach. She works alongside clients to identify goals and figure out what might get in the way of meeting them.
Background and approach
Sessions often include skill-building, practical problem solving, and chances to practice new ways of coping. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are included when managing intense emotions, impulsivity, or patterns that interfere with daily life.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness strategies are used to help people notice their values and take small, value-driven steps. Ashley has experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings and has led group therapy for several years. That experience informs how she structures sessions and how she helps clients build routines, manage symptoms, and work through life transitions.
She also pays attention to attachment, communication patterns, and issues that can affect relationships. People who reach out can expect straightforward language, a collaborative tone, and space to explore goals at a steady pace. Ashley believes laughter and small moments of relief are part of meaningful progress.

How specific approaches translate to online therapy
Ashley draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought patterns and change behaviors that get in the way of daily life. CBT often involves setting small experiments, tracking thoughts and actions, and practicing new skills between sessions.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotional regulation and impulsivity become barriers. DBT skills teach practical tools for tolerating distress, improving emotion regulation, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ashley will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean trying a mix of CBT, DBT skills, and mindfulness practices and adjusting as needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth sessions and skill demonstrations, while phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework support, or when writing out thoughts helps processing. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, school, or parenting demands, and to use the formats that feel most manageable.
