Yolanda "Leah" Ashton is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Kentucky. She brings 11 years of experience in the mental health and wellness field. Leah aims to make it easier for people to ask for help and to take the first steps toward change.

Leah keeps the room simple and direct. She listens without judgment and helps people talk through stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. She also addresses concerns like relationship struggles, addiction, ADHD, and career stress in straightforward, practical ways.

Her work often focuses on everyday problems that affect mood and functioning. That includes sleep and eating difficulties, low self-esteem, anger, and coping with life changes. Leah also supports people facing caregiving strain, chronic illness or pain, and issues around identity and belonging.

People who prefer clear, calm guidance tend to fit well with Leah’s style. She aims to empower clients to build skills they can use between sessions. Prospective clients should follow the site's booking process to match and schedule a first meeting.

Approaches that translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and figure out what they want to change. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It works well for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating problems, and many everyday struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Leah will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. That collaborative process helps shape sessions so they feel useful and manageable.

Confirm the therapist's available session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a person's schedule. They can also let people use mindfulness exercises and CBT worksheets during or between meetings to build skills in daily life.
