About Abbie
Abbie Hancock is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas with 13 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Her practice also addresses related concerns like abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, and impulsivity.
She keeps conversations straightforward and focused on practical changes. Sessions tend to center on identifying patterns that cause distress and trying out different ways of responding. She uses approaches that help people notice their thoughts, test unhelpful beliefs, and practice new skills to manage emotions and urges.
Her work draws on methods such as acceptance and commitment techniques, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior ideas, client-centered listening, and existential questions about meaning. That mix is used to address both symptoms and the everyday problems that feed them, like isolation, guilt, relationship friction, or trouble finding purpose.
Clients can expect an approach that combines talking through what matters now with concrete tools to use between sessions. Abbie focuses on clear, practical steps people can try at home and at work. She encourages collaboration on what to try next based on what is actually helping.
Sessions are conducted in English from Texas. If a person is interested in starting, the usual next step is to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to see how the approach fits their situation.
BHow sessions work
How Abbie Uses Specific Approaches Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. It is useful for anxiety, low motivation, and finding direction when life feels stalled.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing thoughts that lead to distress and practicing new behaviors to change mood and functioning. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, depression, and panic attacks.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will partner with the client to decide which methods to prioritize based on current problems, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process means the plan can change as a client learns what helps.
Session formats are not listed in the source biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Many people appreciate online sessions because they fit into work and family schedules, reduce travel time, and can make it easier to attend regular check-ins. Other practical benefits include shorter check-ins when time is limited, the option to avoid being on camera some days, and the ability to try skills in the actual environments where problems occur.
