Ashley Becker

Ashley Becker is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Minnesota with eight years of counseling experience. She uses a person-centered approach and focuses on helping people set goals and overcome barriers. She approaches sessions with warmth and humor when appropriate, and aims to make therapy a collaborative process.

Before moving into outpatient work, Ashley spent years supporting people in inpatient mental health settings and community centers. That background includes work with serious and persistent mental illness and a range of mood and thought disorders. She also has extensive experience creating and running group therapy sessions.

In session she draws from several practical methods. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at patterns of thinking and behavior. She brings Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness techniques help people notice thoughts and focus on values-driven action.

Ashley often integrates motivational interviewing to support changes, and she tailors interventions to each person’s needs. She pays attention to attachment and communication patterns, and she addresses concerns such as codependency, grief, addiction, and trauma when they come up.

Clients can expect a steady, respectful presence who listens first and helps people identify steps forward. Sessions aim to build skills, reduce overwhelm, and make progress toward personal goals at a pace that feels manageable.
