Ashley Faison, LCSW

Ashley Faison is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing career shifts, low self-esteem, parenting stress, and midlife transitions. She speaks plainly and listens closely. Clients who feel stuck or unsure about next steps will find a calm, nonjudgmental space to begin talking through concerns.

Ashley draws on two decades of experience as an LCSW in New York. She focuses on practical goals like boosting motivation, building confidence, and making decisions about work and life direction. Sessions emphasize clear steps and small changes that add up over time.

Her style is collaborative and client-centered. That means she follows each person’s pace and priorities while offering ideas that can be tried between sessions. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are used to help people notice patterns and test new ways of coping.

Ashley also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to challenge unhelpful thinking and motivate different behaviors. Motivational interviewing tools help when someone feels stuck about a change they want but aren’t sure how to start. Together these approaches support clearer choices and steady progress.

She aims to make the first appointment straightforward. The room is meant for honest conversation, practical planning, and steady support as people navigate life transitions and work toward goals.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. Online sessions can offer the same responsive, supportive conversation where goals are set together and progress is reviewed. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and tries small experiments to change them. That practical, step-by-step work moves well to remote sessions where homework and behavior tracking are discussed between visits.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is tracked.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during lunch breaks or between errands. It can also let people try a session without the commute and use tools like guided exercises and homework to keep momentum between meetings.
