About Yolanda
Yolanda "Leah" Ashton is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Kentucky. She brings 11 years of work in mental health and wellness to sessions and focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and other life challenges. Leah aims to create a calm space where people can speak honestly about what they are going through.
Leah uses straightforward, practical conversation to help people find steps that feel doable. She listens without judgment and helps clients sort through feelings and priorities. That approach can be useful for worries about work, relationships, parenting, or changing life roles.
Her work also covers concerns such as ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy matters, and eating or sleeping difficulties. Leah supports people dealing with caregiver strain, chronic illness, or the stress of aging and blended family dynamics. She also addresses issues like guilt, shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose.
Leah draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy among other ways of working. These approaches are used to help people notice unhelpful patterns, try small experiments, and build skills for daily life. She also incorporates Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused ideas when that matches a person's goals.
Leah offers sessions in English and Tagalog. She does not accept international clients. To begin, prospective clients follow the site's Start Therapy process and schedule sessions based on the matching questionnaire results.
How Leah Uses Therapy Styles Online
Leah commonly blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy means she focuses on listening, accepting where a person is, and letting the client's goals guide sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Leah works with each person to choose tools that fit their needs and preferences, adjusting methods as goals change. She explains options and invites feedback so the plan matches what the person wants to try.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier by reducing travel and allowing sessions during breaks or from different locations. It can also let people use mindfulness practices or CBT exercises between meetings, which helps apply changes to everyday routines.
