About Ashley
Dr. Ashley Ascherl Pechek is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on relationship stress, anxiety, depression, family concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, parenting strain, and work-related burnout.
She also works with people facing LGBT issues, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and challenges tied to veteran and armed forces experiences. Dr. Pechek takes a straightforward, person-centered approach.
Sessions start with listening to what matters most and building trust.
Background and approach
She uses techniques drawn from Emotionally-Focused Therapy, client-centered work, and cognitive behavioral ideas to help people name feelings, shift patterns, and try new behaviors. Her training includes a Master of Arts in Community Counseling and a Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision.
She also brings experience from a range of counseling settings and part-time work as a faculty member in an online counseling program. That background informs practical, down-to-earth care. In sessions she balances support and skill-building.
Conversations may include exploring emotions, practicing strategies for stress and anger, and planning steps for life changes. She adapts the pace to each person and focuses on goals that feel useful in daily life. People especially appreciate clear, goal-oriented work that still leaves room for talking things through.
The emphasis is on helping someone feel understood, reduce distress, and build tools they can use outside of therapy. Dr. Pechek aims to be a steady partner while clients make changes at their own pace.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and shifting emotional responses that keep people stuck. In online sessions this looks like noticing interaction patterns, naming core feelings, and practicing new ways of responding to create more stable connections.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and collaborating at a person’s pace. Online work emphasizes clear, reflective listening and helping clients articulate goals they want to move toward while feeling supported.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) gives concrete tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Over video or text, CBT can include tracking patterns, trying short behavioral experiments, and practicing coping skills between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences and adjust methods as progress is made, so treatment fits the client’s needs and comfort level.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how and when to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to keep momentum between visits.
