About Yolanda
Yolanda "Leah" Ashton is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Kentucky with 11 years of experience in mental health. She focuses on practical support for everyday struggles parents often face. Leah keeps sessions direct and grounded so people can take steps forward without feeling overwhelmed.
Leah helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and parenting challenges. She also addresses relationship concerns, addiction-related issues, sleep and eating struggles, and life changes.
Background and approach
Her work includes attention to ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and compassion fatigue when those show up in daily life. Her approach centers on listening deeply and helping people find small, useful shifts. Leah uses conversation to clarify what matters most and to identify actions that fit each person’s routine.
She emphasizes realistic goals that a busy parent can try between sessions. Leah draws from client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral ideas, and mindfulness practices to shape sessions. She also uses solution-focused techniques and motivational interviewing to keep therapy practical and goal oriented.
Sessions move at a pace the client finds comfortable. Leah offers services in English and Tagalog and works with adults across a range of life concerns. Her Kentucky license as an LPCC is part of her clinical background.
She aims to create a respectful space where questions are welcome and next steps are clear.

How Leah blends approaches for online parenting support
Leah commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when working online. Client-centered work means sessions start with listening and understanding each person’s priorities, helping clients feel heard and shaping goals around their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people test new behaviors to reduce anxiety or improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Leah will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. From that discussion she and the client choose methods and pace that feel useful and manageable, adjusting over time as needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer conversations and exercises that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions can fit brief check-ins or times with lower bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging work well for short updates, coaching-style support, or when someone needs flexible, on-the-go options. These choices make it easier to fit sessions into parenting schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
