About me

Hi there and welcome to the first step in making a positive change. My name is Holly Abbott and I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Alabama and Georgia. I am also nationally certified as a therapist. I have 12 plus years of working with people from all backgrounds. In the past, I have worked in the school system, private practice and with local agencies to help youth and adolescents, individuals and families. I have experience in working with a wide range of concerns and mental health issues, but a few examples are trauma/abuse, ADHD, anxiety/depression, Autism, relationship issues, grief/loss, parenting concerns and life changes.

I love people of all ages and backgrounds and feel that I have a calling to help anyone work through difficult times and situations. Showing compassion, acceptance and understanding are only a few of my qualities. I am easy to talk with and aim to create a safe and non-judging environment for you. My counseling approach ranges from cognitive-behavioral, solutions focused, trauma focused cognitive behavior and reality. However, I focus on the client and tailor what is necessary to help you accomplish your goals in therapy.

Welcome to the first step in making a positive change in your life. This is journey that I am committed to take with you as you seek to live a more happy, meaningful and fulfilling life. I look forward to working with you!

Holly Abbott has been wonderful so far. She is kind, listens very well, and asks great questions. She provides great feedback and is very personable. She is great at asking insightful questions to understand more about what I'm dealing with, and is helpful in guiding our conversations in a productive way.

I tried multiple therapists on BetterHelp, I decided to try one more before giving it up. Holly came along and she is outstanding. Very caring, she listens, and very smart. I would recommend her to anybody

Her compassionate approach, combined with her professional insight, has helped me make real progress in my personal growth. Holly is patient, kind, and truly invested in helping her clients succeed. If you're looking for a therapist who genuinely cares and is skilled at what she does, Holly is the one!

Holly is the best! She is so easy to talk to, a great motivator and thinker. She has been helping me navigate through a Rollercoaster of life events and every week I look forward to our calls.

Holly has been absolutely amazing. Literally a God send. When I met Holly my body and mind was filled with anxiety and I negativity. Holly has been a safe space and has helped me to overturn my thinking and anxiety filled habits. Searching for a therapist is quite the feat and I’ve had many I just did not groove with. I would absolutely recommend Holly to my friends, family and loved ones. She really cares and does her best to help and support you while providing real feedback/perspective to help you grow!
