About Ashley
Ashley Martin-Ibarra is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, family and relationship concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and codependency among other issues. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not take international clients.
Her background includes work in private practice, community mental health, a behavioral health hospital, and probation departments. That range means she has experience with substance use concerns, mood disorders such as bipolar, ADHD, and anger and impulse problems. She has also supported people dealing with family of origin issues, blended family challenges, infidelity, and communication difficulties.
In session she uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral and solution-focused techniques. That looks like listening to what matters most to the person, identifying patterns that get in the way, and practicing small, concrete steps that change daily life. Motivational interviewing and elements of dialectical behavior therapy may be brought in to support difficult behavior change and emotion regulation.
Her style is straightforward and practical. Conversations aim to clarify what the client wants and to build skills for setting boundaries, managing urges, and coping with stress. She will work with clients to set goals and check progress over time.
To begin, clients follow the site's process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Session fees vary by location and are delivered through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters most to the client. The therapist reflects concerns back and helps the client name goals and priorities, which is useful for people who habitually put others first and want to reclaim their voice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thinking, testing different responses, and building small habits that reduce anxiety, improve boundaries, or address addictive patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills can help with intense emotions and impulse control. That involves learning concrete skills for tolerating distress, regulating mood, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit their situation, and adjust the plan as progress is observed. Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - sessions may be shorter or scheduled around work breaks, and not needing travel can save time. Some formats also allow check-ins that keep momentum between meetings.Areas of focus
