About Ajibola
Ajibola Harris is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who goes by Abby. She speaks English and Yoruba and practices from Texas. Abby offers a calm, direct style that helps people address stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma, and other life pressures.
Abby draws on a client-centered approach to keep conversations focused on each person's goals. She blends that with cognitive behavioral strategies and solution-focused work to make sessions practical and goal-oriented. Trauma-focused methods are used when past events are part of what is keeping someone stuck.
With 14 years of experience, Abby has worked with many common concerns such as grief, addiction, anger, intimacy challenges, parenting stress, career transitions, bipolar mood concerns, and ADHD. She aims to build rapport quickly so people feel heard and respected. Abby emphasizes listening first, then helping people try small, manageable changes.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person. Abby prefers to adapt the conversation and plan to match what a person needs in the moment. She names options, discusses what might help, and invites feedback so the work stays relevant.
People who come for support can expect straightforward conversation, practical steps to try between sessions, and steady attention to how therapy is going. Abby describes her role as a supportive, nonjudgmental listener who helps people move past recurring, disruptive thoughts and patterns.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following each person's lead. Online sessions using this approach emphasize being understood, naming goals together, and checking in about what helps most in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses concrete exercises and experiments that are easy to try between sessions. Solution-focused work focuses on small, practical steps and identifying strengths people can use right away.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose which methods to try, adjust as needed, and keep checking whether the plan is helpful. That shared decision-making helps match techniques to the person's goals and preferences.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets therapists use worksheets, short home practice assignments, and real-time problem solving in the moment, which supports the practical focus of CBT and solution-focused work.
