Welcome to Betterhelp. My name is Ajibola Harris. Just refer to me as "ABBY". I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the states of Oklahoma, Texas and Nevada. 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. I worked with four counseling agencies over the course of eight years before relocating to Texas. The in-person therapy sessions were held at clients' homes, agency offices and schools.
In 2021, I became licensed to practice in Texas and had my first experience in online counseling which I really love since I can work from the comfort of my home. In 2023, I obtained another license to practice in Nevada. I have experience working with a wide array of clients from different cultural backgrounds dealing with various life challenges. I have had many years of fulfilling practice.
I am experienced in many counseling techniques and I can combine such techniques based on a client's present concerns and goals. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Technique (CBT) which involves a collaboration with clients to jointly come up with the best goals and solutions to alleviate their symptoms for a better quality of life. This technique focuses on changing how we think in a way that changes our emotions and behaviors. I also utilize Client-Centered Therapy that regards clients as experts on their lives and thus determine the direction and depth of therapy.
I am passionate about my job as a therapist and strive to establish a therapeutic relationship with clients that fosters a strong rapport, trust, comfortable environment, 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 believe that having a good connection with my clients helps facilitate effective counseling and provides the best outcome. My goal as a Counselor is to restore hope to those who have lost it and empower clients to develop healthy coping skills to enjoy life fully. I applaud your courage to seek help and I intend to support and work with you to achieve a more fulfilling life.
I have many years of experience in the following issues:
Depression, Anxiety, Stress, Anger management, Relationship issues, Family conflicts, LGBTQ issues, Addictions, Divorce & separation, Mood disorders, Unresolved grief issues, Self-esteem, Parenting, Trauma and abuse, Abandonment and loneliness, Codependency, PTSD, Phobias, OCD, ADHD, Women issues,

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
