About Ashley
Dr. Ashley Ascherl Pechek is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on issues such as relationship strain, anger, depression, anxiety, stress, parenting concerns, and grief. Sessions focus on practical steps people can take to manage feelings and make clearer choices.
Her approach blends client-centered listening with structured techniques. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to challenge unhelpful thoughts and Solution-Focused strategies to set short-term goals. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) ideas are part of how she attends to strong emotions in relationships.
In sessions she prioritizes clear communication and collaborative planning. People can expect to talk through patterns, try concrete coping practices, and set small behavior goals. She also brings trauma-informed awareness to work with people who have difficult past experiences.
Dr. Pechek holds a Master of Arts in Community Counseling and a Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision. She balances clinical work with a faculty role in an online counseling program, which informs her familiarity with remote care and contemporary counseling methods.
Her stated focus areas include ADHD, compassion fatigue, veteran and armed forces issues, and self-harm among other concerns. Language of sessions is English and services are provided under her Colorado LPC credential. For current session formats, readers should confirm options before booking.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Pechek uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that fit remote sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can describe what’s happening and feel understood. That approach helps people sort feelings and priorities even when meeting remotely. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at specific thoughts and behaviors and uses exercises and homework to test new ways of responding, which adapts well to short focused online meetings.Finding the right fit is presented as a cooperative process. She will review a person’s goals, discuss which approaches suit those goals, and adjust methods as sessions progress. The aim is to try practical steps and then change course when something isn’t working.
Confirm which session formats she currently offers before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports using worksheets, behavioral experiments, and structured homework between meetings so the work continues outside scheduled sessions.
