About Abbie
Abbie Hancock is a licensed clinical social worker in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addictions. She also supports those coping with trauma, low self-esteem, panic, and questions about life purpose. Her approach is respectful and straightforward, aimed at practical change rather than jargon.
She encourages people to take small steps that add up to real progress. Abbie uses a mix of methods chosen for each person’s needs.
Background and approach
She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also brings elements of client-centered care to keep sessions grounded in the person’s experience.
Sessions focus on skills and real-life adjustments. That can mean learning new coping tools for anxiety, setting boundaries around relationships, or planning gradual changes to reduce addictive patterns. Abbie pays attention to emotions like guilt, shame, and abandonment and works with clients to move forward from them.
Her style is collaborative and direct. She listens first, then helps clients set clear, actionable goals. Conversations are adapted so they fit each person’s situation and pace.
With 13 years of practice as an LCSW, Abbie offers experienced support without assuming one size fits all. She aims to make therapy practical and understandable, so people leave sessions with something they can use that week.

Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It supports committing to actions that match personal values, which can help with anxiety, avoidance, and low motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them through real-life practice to reduce symptoms like panic and depression. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience in the session and emphasizes understanding and empathy to support change.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and try methods that fit those needs. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that mixes tools from different approaches when that makes sense.
Online formats offer flexibility for people with busy schedules. Video calls let sessions feel most like in-person meetings, while phone sessions can work better when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, emotional support between sessions, or when writing helps someone process thoughts. These options make it easier to use therapy in daily life and to practice new skills where they matter most.
