Work with me!

Welcome to Betterhelp. My name is Ajibola Harris. Just refer to me as "ABBY". I am a Licensed Professional Counselor licensed in Oklahoma, Texas, and Nevada with over of 14 years of fulfilled working experience. I graduated from the University of Oklahoma in 2007 and obtained a Master of Human Relations degree (MHR). In 2010, I obtained my first license to practice as a Licensed Professional counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma and started my career that same year.

Over the course of my career, I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including relationship issues, depression, anxiety, unresolved trauma, unresolved grief, and stress.

My therapeutic approach combines cognitive behavioral, client-centered, humanistic, trauma-focused and solution-focused therapy. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

A great therapeutic relationship established at the onset of meeting the client is vital to bring about the change expected, which is why finding a therapist that the client feels comfortable with is half the battle. I AM THAT THERAPIST. So, I strive to establish a great therapeutic relationship with clients that fosters a strong rapport, trust, unconditional positive regard, respect, dignity and compassion. As a non-judgmental and open-minded listener, I approach the therapeutic relationship with acute sensitivity to multi/cross-cultural factors.

I constantly remind myself that the basic core of therapy is about helping people get unstuck from recurring and distruptive emotional thoughts. When this is achieved, clients appreciate the importance of therapy.

Above all, I love helping people and doing so gives me the great joy to keep impacting lives.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Abby was such an amazing therapist, she was a great listener and she expressed impeccable cultural awareness and sensitivity.
