I serve women, college students, and teens that feel hopeless, isolated, overwhelmed, or stuck. In each stage of life, there are different stressors and challenges. My desire is to journey alongside my clients as they navigate different seasons. I seek to help isolated women create meaningful connections, overwhelmed students move forward with purpose, and stuck teens overcome fears and hang-ups.

I help women, college students, and teens who may be experiencing depression, grief, anxiety, and many other emotional disruptions. I use a strengths based cognitive behavioral therapy approach to aid individuals in healing. I strive to provide a safe and supportive space where clients can safely work through trauma, shame, emotional barriers, and build upon their natural strengths.

Online therapy SERVING AGES 18 AND UP: Seeking a therapist can be an uncomfortable process especially when seeking Christian counseling . Healing from life's pains can only be done in an environment where you feel comfortable and not judged. Sometimes we are hurt by other Christians who have the best intentions, but lack training on how to avoid causing more hurt. Here at Texas OCC, we offer support, Biblical wisdom, gentleness of spirit, and clinical knowledge to help you overcome pains of the past and move forward to be all that God created you to be. We love seeing Him heal, restore and bring joy to the lives of His children.

As a licensed psychotherapist with a lot of experience, I want you to know that there is always hope . . . Hope for your: marriage; personal life; family; depression; anxiety; fear; anger. You fill in your word : my __________. Sometimes therapy equips you with healthier coping skills like communication or better relationship skills; many people work on improving their self-esteem. Many people come to therapy saying: “I’ve lost myself,” or “I don’t know who I am.” Today we see so many hurting people; we are all stressed just from our daily lives!

I specialize in working with young adults and teens who feel suffocated by anxious thoughts and overwhelmed by emotions. I especially enjoy helping individuals who are developing their racial or ethnic identities as well as interracial or multicultural couples work through the challenges of blending two cultures in marriage. I work with clients in both English and Spanish, helping them gain clarity to confidently live the life they choose. I know from my own path to wellness that my therapy experience has freed me to live with intention. I feel honored to walk alongside others as they move toward self-discovery and acceptance.

Not accepting new clients. I have over 15 years of diverse clinical experience in: eating disorders (HAES), substance abuse, codependency, pre-marital + couples therapy, infidelity, grief/loss, anxiety, depression, and self/person of the therapist. I have extensive training in areas of Christian counseling , career counseling, grief/loss, faith/spirituality, absent parents, special needs families, LGBTQI, and culture. I also specialize in issues of transference/countertransference for healthcare professionals, particularly other therapists, and research experience in areas of Black families, fatherhood, and manhood.

Greetings! My name is Abigail. I am here because I believe in you and want to help! I was drawn to the helping profession through my love for relationships, ministry experiences, and a deep desire to see people experience life in healing and wholeness. I am a living testimony that you can receive healing and change in life. I know what it is like to go through counseling. I had gone through horrendous abuse as a child, praying that God would rescue me. The good news is - that he did!

Are you are struggling with depression, trauma, anxiety, or the effects of family dysfunction? If so, you have come to the right place. Working through these issues on your own can feel daunting and overwhelming. It's ok, I can help you create a roadmap for your healing. I know you are probably tired of trying to do the hard work on your own. That is why therapy is essential and for many, it's a fast track to healing and restoration. As a seasoned professional with over 10 years of helping people heal, I am committed to your process.

At Covington-McGee Christian Counseling - we understand that mental health is a critical component of our whole wellbeing.

The world is not always an easy place to live. Often our circumstances are beyond our control, but we can learn to change the lens through which we view our circumstances. Through counseling, you and I can work together to help you develop coping strategies, increase personal growth, strengthen your emotional well-being, address unresolved issues, explore patterns of behavior, and improve interpersonal relationships. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental place for clients ages 18 and up to process feelings and navigate the difficult issues of life. If you live in Texas, I would love to support your emotional needs through Telehealth!

The global pandemic has impacted everyone in different ways. Uncertainty of the future impacts everyone around us. Getting through this challenging time while worrying what will happen with jobs and school is a real concern. Wondering what has happened to your concentration or motivation? Anxiety and fears are starting to become more difficult to manage. On top of that, navigating life as we know it now can be challenging to adjust to in this new normal. In order to better manage these symptoms, help is a phone call away.

The mind has a funny way of keeping us emotionally safe when we experience pain and hurt in our lives. At times we may do things that seem appropriate and true to what we feel, but only later do we often realize that our actions have not only hurt ourselves but also the ones we love. Oftentimes, have you felt that you just are going through the motions of your life and aren't able to have meaningful connections with those around you, but are unsure of how to change.

Telehealth Only! Waitlist open. I have one rule in session: We have to laugh at least once. Life is hard, work can be stressful, parenting can be chaotic, relationships can be confusing, and sometimes we are just not okay! Therapy can be a place where you learn more about yourself, your family of origin and the world around you. Even though life is hard we can still have peace. With a mindfulness approach, we can help you find your safe place. We can change how you relate to the world and your suffering in a manner that benefits you. In a life that can sometimes be a rollercoaster, we will work together to handle the ups and downs.

I am a therapist trained to listen, nurture and work with you. This might be repairing relationships, healing from trauma, recovering from addiction, managing anxiety or depression.  I see clients both face to face in my office as well as online within the state of Texas through HIPAA-compliant confidential video. Clients come to therapy when life is not working. Joining with a therapist allows patterns to be investigated and altered, insight to be gained and distress to be tolerated. With guidance, clients set goals for therapy and I work to meet those goals. They are a benchmark for progress.

When I meet with someone going through a difficult time in their life, I can't help but see the hope and I believe it is my job as the counselor to facilitate the client's ability to see that hope as well. My ideal client is pro-active, goal orientated and is engaged in the process. I am here to simply walk along their side as they navigate this phase of life, preparing them for a future they want.

"When the world says, "give up", hope whispers, "try it one more time"". Sometimes we feel like all hope is lost. We feel alone and exhausted and we don't know where to turn to get back on track. This is why I became a therapist, to help others, to walk with others through what feels like a hopeless place. You made a big step already just by seeking support. I believe in providing a safe space where you can express your concerns and experience compassion without judgment. Together, we can work through obstacles in a way that seeks restoration, growth, and balance.

The decision and journey to sobriety might vary from one person to another, however, most people have the same expected outcome: success and long-term sobriety. I approach recovery counseling and coaching from the perspective of individualism with focus of treatment and support to the whole person. My holistic approach includes discovering who you are as a person.
