About Yolanda
Yolanda "Leah" Ashton is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Kentucky. She brings 11 years of experience in the mental health field and focuses on helping people manage common life struggles. Leah writes and talks plainly, so visitors quickly know what to expect in sessions.
Leah helps people work through stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. She also addresses anger and problems tied to relationships, parenting, addiction, and attention challenges.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused so people can practice changes between meetings. Her style centers on listening first and then building practical steps together. Leah uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s pace.
She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and mindfulness to reduce reactivity. Leah supports people coping with life changes, career stress, body image and self-esteem concerns, and caregiver strain. She also works with people facing trauma, domestic violence, and complicated family dynamics.
Her approach treats each concern as part of a person’s whole life, not as a label. Sessions are offered in English and Tagalog. She practices with attention to the real limits people face, such as busy schedules and competing responsibilities.
Leah aims to help clients build steady, usable skills that fit daily life.

How Leah blends approaches for online work
Leah commonly uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral therapy online. Client-centered work means she focuses on listening and following each person's priorities so sessions fit what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy involves identifying patterns of thought and behavior and then practicing specific changes that reduce distress, which can help with anger, anxiety, and depression.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Leah will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that match those aims. The work is collaborative - she and the person check what helps and adjust the plan as needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when being off-camera feels better. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, and moments when writing out thoughts helps. These options make therapy more flexible for busy schedules and for practicing new skills between meetings.
