About Yolanda

Yolanda "Leah" Ashton is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Kentucky with 11 years of experience in the mental health field.

Background and approach

She draws on a broad clinical background to help people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, and ADHD among many other life challenges. Leah emphasizes collaboration and practical support rather than presenting herself as an all-knowing expert.

Her approach centers on creating a nonjudgmental space where clients can explore feelings and patterns that contribute to ongoing difficulties. She blends client-centered listening with evidence-informed methods to address issues such as trauma, self-esteem, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and transitions in life or career.

Leah also attends to areas like eating and sleeping issues, impulsivity, and isolation, tailoring strategies to each person’s circumstances. Leah offers services in English and Tagalog and provides several online session formats including video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Prospective clients use a subscription model that varies with location and therapist availability, and they can begin by selecting the Start Therapy button, completing a brief matching questionnaire, and scheduling according to availability.

Approaches That Guide Online Sessions

Leah often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to practice practical strategies for managing mood, anxiety, and daily functioning. She also employs Mindfulness Therapy to encourage present-moment awareness and stress reduction skills that can support coping with grief, chronic stress, and emotional reactivity.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Leah works with clients to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences and adapts techniques over time so the work fits the individual rather than forcing a single method on every person.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for busy schedules and differing comfort levels with technology. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact, practice skills between sessions, and access support from Kentucky without needing to travel to an office.
