About Ashley
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of experience, Ashley Martin-Ibarra helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, grief, and related issues. She works with people who are also dealing with ADHD, bipolar symptoms, intimacy problems, anger, and career or life changes. Sessions are offered in English and she practices from a counseling perspective that centers the client's goals and strengths.
Ashley uses a mix of Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. In practice she focuses on clear, practical steps. Conversations aim to identify patterns, build coping skills, and set achievable goals. She draws on motivational interviewing when substance use or ambivalence about change comes up.
Her background includes work across settings in Texas: private practice, community mental health, a behavioral health hospital, and adult and juvenile probation departments. That range means she has worked with people managing co-occurring concerns such as substance use and mental health symptoms, blended family issues, codependency, communication problems, and infidelity.
In sessions she helps clients talk through immediate problems and plan next steps. Therapy can include skill practice from CBT and DBT, short-term solution-focused work, and client-centered reflection. She also supports people managing compassion fatigue and the stress that comes from caregiving or demanding roles.
To start, clients use a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's perspective and goals. Online sessions using this approach involve the therapist listening, reflecting, and helping people clarify what matters most to them. It is useful when someone wants time to process feelings and make decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors with clear, practical exercises. In online sessions CBT usually involves tracking patterns, practicing coping skills between meetings, and reviewing progress together. This approach helps with anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about symptoms, goals, and preferences and then recommend a mix of methods. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted over time as needs change.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and keep continuity of care during life changes. Phone or video sessions can be practical for quick check-ins, or longer conversation-focused sessions when more time is needed.
