Ajibola Harris

Ajibola Harris asks to be called “ABBY” and is a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Texas. She holds professional counseling licenses to practice in Texas and Oklahoma and brings 14 years of clinical experience to her work.

She earned a Master of Human Relations degree from the University of Oklahoma in 2007 and obtained her first counseling license in Oklahoma in 2010, the year she began her professional practice.

Over the course of her career she has supported people facing a wide range of concerns, including relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety, unresolved trauma and grief, and stress. Her work also addresses anger management, addictions, LGBTQ issues, family conflicts, self-esteem, parenting challenges, career difficulties, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and intimacy-related concerns.

Her therapeutic style combines cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered, humanistic, trauma-focused, and solution-focused approaches. She individualizes conversations and treatment plans to meet each person’s specific needs and goals.

Ajibola emphasizes the importance of a strong therapeutic relationship from the start, striving to build rapport, trust, unconditional positive regard, respect, dignity, and compassion. As a non-judgmental and open-minded listener, she brings sensitivity to multicultural and cross-cultural factors into the therapeutic setting.

She views therapy as a process that helps people get unstuck from recurring and disruptive emotional thoughts, and she finds great joy in helping others move forward and experience meaningful change.
