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.

Terrific mental health professional. Glad she is affordable and actively engaged. BetterHelp assigned an exceptional specialist! Thank you!

Ms. Harris has really made a difference in my life by illustrating what I need to do to make a difference and to be happy. Thank you

I feel that Ajibola Harris meets people where they are. She listens without any form of judgement, responds in a timely manner and sends helpful information.
She is very understanding and listen well.
Great therapist. Very kind, caring, knowledgeable, and helpful.
She is very attentive to what is said. She also tries to ensure that what she says is coming across in an understanding way. She is considerate of my needs.
Ajibola Harris has helped me turn my emotions around and learn how to train myself to be a better person on how I go about looking at life. I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs to hear the truth about how they feel and how it affects their day to day life. Patient, sweet, bold, and wise.
Abby was lovely to speak with, she was very understanding of my feelings and gave me great advise.
Abby gave me great guidance and practices that helped with my mental stress. I am in a much better mental health now.
I’m so happy I matched with Miss Harris, she takes the time to listen to my concerns while also challenging my thinking. Her exercises have helped me greatly. She is so kind, encouraging, and helpful. I can not thank her enough.
Abby was such an amazing therapist, she was a great listener and she expressed impeccable cultural awareness and sensitivity. As a Muslim woman, I struggled to find a female therapist that would be able to understand me and my background and assist me with my needs, however Abby met my standards and more. Highly recommend her even if you simply need a confidant to talk to.
Very great therapist, she’s very patient and understanding
She is a lot more structured. I enjoy her therapy.
She makes me feel heard, understood and she validated my concerns and helps me work through my issues in a healthy way
Ajibola made me feel comfortable right away. She is wise and comes with life and professional experience. I enjoy my one-on-one meetings with Ajibola.
Personable and caring
She is awesome try her
Abby is very aware of how to address the situation quickly and break it down into the important parts. She has helped me feel more confident in my decisions and life, and it is wonderful to have a mental health provider in my corner.
Wonderful expertise and careful understanding.
Thank you
With this being my first experience with therapy Ms. Harris made it very comfortable for me. I’m able to express myself freely and she gives very clear communication and helps me navigate my feelings and gives constructive solutions to issues that are presented
Mrs.Harris is very kind. She allows to to express yourself and is good at asking questions to make you think about your situation and help understand it and yourself better. She is very patient as well and helps you focus on finding solutions to build a better future for yourself.
She is aware of the needs and challenges of the elderly.
Great so far :)
Abby helped me by listening and then suggesting a few things to try. She gave me a few one liners that stayed with me when I was not in session. I appreciated her help and it was only a few times.
She is great
What can I say? Abby was a great start in my journey of healing anger. She is friendly, easy to talk to and provides the right tools for getting a grasp on what to do with your anger. I found myself using her advice and being successful. I only changed therapists to address passed trauma, otherwise I would have stayed.
Miss Abby was amazing! She gave me the boost I needed.
I appreciate Mrs. Harris' straight forward manner and assessment. I also enjoy the practical application aspect of her treatment plans, as I've had therapists in the past who were heavy on talk, light on action. I feel with Mrs. Harris' guidance I will meet some of the goals I'm beginning to identify.
She has been so through and content with her help that I feel confident in being my self and enjoying the moment! Truly a wonderful person!
Abiodun is very pleasant to work with and also down to earth. She asks the hard questions that help me to think through things and also shares a perspective to bounce things and situations around with that I haven't considered. She's given some very great items for me to look at.
I really am glad that I was matched Abiodun Harris. I have gone to a therapist before and this session felt different. She started with the source of my issues and we worked together to sort everything out. She is a great listener and very encouraging and extremely supportive. She challenges me to to examine my mindset regarding issues that have been bothering me for a really long time. I couldn't have asked for a better therapist.
Abby was a help to me. She listened and pointed me to good resources. She asked good questions which prompted deeper discussions. It was a help to me also that Abby has faith in God. That was important to me as well.
Abiodun strives to understand every detail but also listens to the whole, She provides helpful information and worksheets to use when I face difficult situations similar to what we discuss. In speaking with her, my feelings feel validated and understood which then makes me feel more comfortable to continue opening up,
In my short time with Abby I really feel like BetterHelp did an amazing job at matching me with a counselor who is more then qualified for my needs. I appreciated her gentle honesty and I feel safe opening up and processing with Abby as we continue to work together.
When I first started my session with her, I was so nervous. She makes you feel so comfortable with yourself and just talk to her like she’s your friend. I knew she was the therapist for me because she’s compassionate, understanding, sweet, and has a great sense of humor. She has helped me gotten over almost all of my biggest problems in 2 months that I have been dealing with for years. She is seriously an amazing woman, and I just want everyone to know that! I just want to say thank you so much to her, and she has been the best person to help me.
I love Abby’s positive energy and enthusiasm. I like that she shoots straight with me and also makes me work on things. I feel very encouraged and supported.
A very good conselor. However, with 30 min session, it is just too short.
