Abby Wilson

Hi! I’m Abby. I offer a modern approach to therapy and work with young professional women navigating anxiety, relationship struggles, and life transitions. As a modern therapist, I take an active, collaborative approach to support and challenge my clients towards growth & change. Sessions with me tend to feel more relaxed and conversational, rather than clinical and rigid. My approach is not to focus solely on the symptoms that are being presented, but to understand each person as a unique individual, navigating the complexity that comes with being human. I believe we all have our own unique set of gifts and innate strengths, and therapy is a space that promotes growth in discovering those strengths that lie within. Our experiences can heavily impact how we feel about ourselves, others, and the world around us. Being human means that life will inevitably present us with challenges - this does not mean there is something wrong with us or that we need to “fix ourselves”. Therapy is a space to explore how we have internalized our experiences, better understand our defense mechanisms, and work towards becoming more resilient when faced with obstacles. By understanding how our past experiences have shaped us, we are able to overcome feelings of shame and move forward from a place of empowerment. I assist my clients with creating more self-awareness, learning how to implement effective coping skills for better navigating life, and living intentionally based on core values. My commitment is to not judge you, and to provide a space where you can show up as your authentic self. I am most passionate working with young professional women who are navigating their own version of the “quarter-life crisis” — primarily anxiety and relationship struggles. I work with high-functioning adults who have typically been pretty successful in life, but are wrestling with challenges that might not be so obvious others (which can often feel incredibly isolating). My clients are typically motivated to gain insight and prefer a more direct, solution-focused approach in therapy. My practice is fully online and I work with clients throughout Texas — primarily Houston, Austin, & Dallas. My clinical experience and training includes work at highly regarded organizations such as UTHealth, The Menninger Clinic, Modern Therapy, and a one year post-graduate fellowship at The Council on Recovery. My background has provided me with a comprehensive skillset in conceptualizing the role of addiction and mental health within family systems, as well as individuals who have been impacted by psychological trauma.
