About Ashley

Ashley Martin-Ibarra is an LPC based in Texas who supports people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship and family difficulties, grief, trauma and abuse, ADHD, mood disorders such as bipolar, and a broad range of life changes.

Background and approach

With 15 years of clinical experience across independent practice, community mental health, behavioral health hospitals, and probation settings, she brings practical knowledge of substance use issues, anger and impulse concerns, parenting and blended family challenges, and intimate relationship struggles. Her style blends client-centered care with cognitive and solution-focused tools, adapting methods to each person's strengths and goals.

She draws on DBT skills and motivational interviewing when addressing co-occurring problems like codependency, drug and alcohol addiction, or commitment and communication difficulties. Respectful, empathetic, and nonjudgmental, she aims to create a collaborative space where clients can explore patterns, build coping skills, and work toward concrete changes.

Sessions emphasize individualized planning and skill-building, informed by fifteen years of practice with adults, children, and adolescents in varied clinical environments. Ashley explains approaches in clear terms and partners with clients to define workable steps forward while attending to the unique context of their family and personal histories.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an empathetic, nonjudgmental environment where the client’s priorities guide the work; it helps people gain insight and build self-directed change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns with practical exercises and skill-building to address anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills useful for managing intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and impulsive behaviors.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the collaborative process. The therapist partners with clients to assess goals, preferences, and life context, then tailors techniques and homework to fit individual needs rather than applying a single formula. That collaborative exploration helps shape a plan that feels manageable and goal-oriented.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity during life transitions. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide regular support, teach practical skills, and follow progress while adapting to each person's communication preferences and logistical needs.
