Ashley De Verteuil , LISW-CP, LCSW

Ashley De Verteuil is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She also supports those working on self-esteem, confidence, and life transitions. Ashley emphasizes practical steps and steady support rather than quick fixes.

Ashley aims to make sessions feel open and nonjudgmental. She creates a space where people can talk about hard feelings and try out new ways of coping. The focus is on small, useful changes that fit each persons life.

Her background includes long-term clinical work across several states and many kinds of care settings. That breadth has given her experience with panic, social anxiety, and the effects of guilt and shame. She also supports concerns tied to pregnancy and childbirth and broader womens issues.

In sessions she listens first, then helps people set clear goals. Conversations often include skills to manage intense moments and steps to rebuild confidence. Homework or simple practices between sessions are offered when helpful.

Ashley offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging for ongoing care. People in New York can connect in ways that match their schedules and daily routines. Beginning therapy can feel hard; Ashley aims to make that first move easier and more manageable.

Approaches and online care for stress and trauma

Ashley uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical skills and emotional processing. One common method helps people learn skills to manage intense feelings and anxiety in the moment, such as grounding and breathing strategies that reduce panic and overwhelm. Another approach focuses on working through past hurts and trauma to reduce their hold on daily life, using structured conversations and gradual steps to process difficult memories and reactions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Ashley listens to each persons goals, preferences, and life demands, and then suggests methods that fit. She checks in over time and adjusts the plan so the work stays useful and manageable.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people read facial cues and have a near face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging work for brief check-ins, between-session support, or when a shorter format fits a busy day. These options make it easier to maintain steady work on stress, anxiety, and womens issues while juggling everyday life.
