About Ashley
Ashley Simos is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people managing addiction, anxiety, depression, and stress. Her practice also focuses on relationship and family concerns and issues like codependency, communication problems, and impulsivity.
Ashley describes many clients as appearing high-functioning while feeling overwhelmed or mentally exhausted inside. In sessions she uses direct conversation, a sense of humor, and practical challenges to help clients change behaviors outside of therapy. Expect straightforward feedback and concrete steps to try between appointments.
She helps people who struggle with panic attacks, trouble with control, guilt and shame, or questions about life purpose. Smoking and vaping cessation are also within her focus alongside young adult issues and rebuilding self-regard. The emphasis is on managing symptoms and breaking repeating patterns.
Ashley works collaboratively when deciding what to try next. She listens for what is getting in the way of daily functioning and suggests small experiments to test new responses. Progress is measured by what feels different in everyday life rather than abstract measures.
People who prefer clear direction, real-world tools, and occasional tough questions may find this style useful. Prospective clients in New York should confirm current session options before scheduling to match logistics with treatment goals.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online work is handled
Ashley works with evidence-based techniques that focus on changing thoughts and behaviors. Cognitive-style approaches help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different responses to anxiety and panic. Behavioral methods target actions directly, using exercises and small experiments to reduce avoidance and manage impulsivity.She treats therapy as a collaborative process. Together the therapist and client decide which methods to try, based on the client’s goals, daily challenges, and what has or hasn’t worked before. That shared planning helps shape homework and real-world experiments between sessions.
The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten commute time, or allow a quieter check-in during a break. Clients who want to test strategies between meetings often find remote sessions convenient for maintaining momentum.
