About Ashley
Dr. Ashley Ascherl Pechek is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with 15 years of experience. She focuses on concerns such as anger, stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, grief, trauma and abuse, and relationship and intimacy-related issues.
She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, career stress, ADHD, compassion fatigue, veteran and armed forces issues, and self-harm concerns. She keeps sessions practical and straightforward. Conversations aim to help people name what they are feeling and try new ways of responding.
Background and approach
She blends listening with structured techniques so each visit has direction and purpose. Ashley draws on client-centered work to follow each person’s pace and priorities. She pairs that with cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors.
Emotion-focused ideas are used when relationships and strong feelings are central to the problem. Her training includes a master’s degree in community counseling and a doctorate in counselor education and supervision. She has worked in a range of counseling settings and teaches in an online counseling program.
That mix of clinical and academic work shapes a practical, evidence-aware style. People who come for help can expect a collaborative plan. Sessions may include goal-setting, short skill-building exercises, and discussion of how to try changes between meetings.
The focus is on usable tools for everyday moments, including managing anger and stressful situations.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s goals and pace first. Online sessions using this approach focus on listening, reflecting, and shaping the work around what matters most to the individual. It helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to clarify their priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on linking thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Online CBT often uses short exercises during sessions and homework between meetings to test small changes. This approach is useful for stress, anxiety, anger, and depression because it targets specific patterns that get in the way.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and change strong emotional responses in relationships. When relationship or intimacy issues appear, EFT techniques help name emotions and try new ways to connect and respond.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work together with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and comfort level, and can adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let conversations feel more like in-person meetings. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier if someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins and written reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life while using the approaches described above.
