Ajibola Harris, who may be called "ABBY," is a licensed counselor with LCPC and LPC credentials and 14 years of clinical experience supporting people through relationship struggles, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and life transitions. She holds a Master of Human Relations (MHR) from the University of Oklahoma, earned in 2007, and brings a strengths-based, culturally aware approach to clinical work.

Her practice weaves together cognitive behavioral, client-centered, solution-focused, and trauma-focused methods so treatment is tailored to each person's needs and goals. Ajibola emphasizes building a respectful, empathic therapeutic relationship that allows clients to feel heard and develop practical skills to move past recurring emotional patterns. She works with a broad range of concerns including stress, anger, addictions, parenting and family conflicts, intimacy and relationship issues, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, career challenges, and compassion fatigue.

Ajibola offers care in English and Yoruba and accepts international clients. She is licensed to practice in Texas and Nevada - NV LCPC CP5566-R and TX LPC 85851 - and focuses on creating a nonjudgmental space attentive to multicultural and cross-cultural factors. Her aim is to help clients get unstuck, regain momentum, and find meaningful change through collaborative, goal-oriented work.

Integrating therapeutic approaches in online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person rather than the problem - the therapist offers empathic listening, unconditional positive regard, and support that helps people explore values, build self-esteem, and make choices aligned with their goals. This approach is helpful for life transitions, identity concerns, and relationship challenges.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses structured techniques to shift unhelpful thinking patterns and build coping skills, making it effective for anxiety, depression, stress, and many daily functioning concerns.

Trauma-Focused Therapy provides strategies to process and integrate difficult experiences while teaching practical skills to manage intrusive memories, emotional reactivity, and avoidance. It is applied when past events continue to influence current functioning and relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Ajibola works collaboratively with clients to identify what aligns with their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts methods as progress unfolds. Licensed professionals may combine elements from different models to create a personalized plan.

Online therapy offers flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit care into busy lives and to access therapists from different locations. These options can increase consistency of care and provide practical ways to stay connected to a therapist between in-person possibilities.
