About Yolanda
Yolanda "Leah" Ashton is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Kentucky with 11 years of experience in mental health work. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain, and anger. Sessions are conducted in English and Tagalog. Leah notes a broad clinical background and says she does not claim expertise in everything.
Leah focuses on practical, everyday concerns. She talks through how feelings affect work, family life, sleep, and self-esteem. She helps people notice patterns that keep problems cycling - for example how worry can lead to poor sleep, which then raises irritability. The aim is clearer thinking and more manageable daily routines.
Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That looks like listening first, then offering ways to test unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. Mindfulness and Solution-Focused techniques may be used to build skills for handling strong feelings and for setting short-term goals.
Leah also works with issues such as ADHD, addictions, intimacy concerns, caregiving stress, and chronic illness. She is aware of trauma, domestic violence, and attachment concerns and addresses them within the scope of her practice. She describes coaching elements for people focusing on career or life-purpose questions.
People who prefer straightforward, practical conversations tend to fit well with her style. To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to see how the work might proceed.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful working relationship. Online sessions can begin with open conversation so the therapist understands what matters most to you and what you want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to test new ways of thinking. In remote sessions this can include homework, thought records, and brief in-session experiments to try between meetings.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and manage strong emotions like anger. These exercises can be practiced in short daily moments and reviewed during online sessions. Leah will work with clients to choose techniques that match their goals and day-to-day life; deciding on the right mix of approaches is a collaborative part of early sessions.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and let people use audio-only meetings if bandwidth or camera use is a concern. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements during the first scheduling steps.
