About Ashley

Ashley Capone is a licensed mental health counselor based in New York who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and relationship challenges. Ashley listens for what matters most and teaches clear, practical skills to manage intense feelings. Their approach aims to help people name emotions, calm down without losing control, and say what they need to say so others can respond more helpfully.

Ashley draws on eight years of clinical experience and uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy informed techniques to teach distress tolerance, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. Sessions focus on small, usable steps that can change day-to-day reactions and reduce overwhelm. The work also considers how bigger systems and cultural pressures affect mood and goals.

Therapy includes looking at patterns from the past that shape current reactions, and trying short, goal-focused experiments in the present. Ashley combines psychodynamic listening with solution-focused planning to help people move toward clearer decisions. Trauma-focused ideas are brought in when painful events need careful attention.

The therapist pays attention to issues like attachment wounds, abandonment fears, body image, shame, impulsivity, and isolation. They also address concerns tied to grief, sleep problems, career stress, and addictive behaviors. Ashley aims to help people reconnect with purpose and steady their daily life.

Sessions are offered in English. Ashley emphasizes collaboration and practical tools so people can gradually feel more steady and more able to make changes that matter.

How DBT and Psychodynamic Work Online

Ashley commonly uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy informed work to teach skills people can use moment to moment. DBT-informed work focuses on distress tolerance, emotion regulation, mindfulness, and ways to communicate more clearly when feelings run high. It is useful for strong mood swings, anger, and problems with impulsivity or relationship conflict.

Psychodynamic ideas are also part of the work. That approach looks at how past relationships and patterns shape current reactions. It helps uncover repeated patterns so you can choose different responses instead of reacting automatically.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative part of therapy. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try things out, and adjust methods over time so therapy matches what actually helps you. Clients often mix skills training with gentle exploration of earlier experiences.

Talk with the therapist about your needs and availability to decide how to meet regularly and make steady progress.
