About Abbie

She brings a steady, compassionate presence to sessions and focuses on practical steps that fit each person’s life.

Sessions are straightforward and respectful. Abbie listens first, then works with clients to set small, achievable goals that build confidence over time.
How Abbie works
Her approach uses several evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for emotional regulation and managing intense reactions.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports people in clarifying values and taking committed action toward them. Abbie also draws on client-centered and existential ideas to keep the work personal and meaningful. That means clients lead the pace while she reflects, questions, and helps uncover what really matters.
The process aims to reduce symptoms while also improving direction and purpose. People can expect practical tools, honest conversation, and steady support. Abbie frames therapy as a collaboration focused on real change.
She practices in Texas and conducts sessions in English.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values even when feelings are difficult. It can be useful for anxiety, low motivation, and questions about life purpose.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with clearer, more helpful patterns. This approach often helps with mood disorders, panic, and many stress-related problems.
Abbie treats finding the right approach as a joint process. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then adapt methods to fit those needs. That collaboration helps decide whether ACT, CBT, DBT skills, or a client-centered style will be most useful.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs and schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for short check-ins, and messaging lets people share thoughts between sessions. These options aim to make care more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
