About Ajibola Harris

Work with me!

Welcome to Betterhelp. My name is Ajibola Harris. Just refer to me as “ABBY”. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor licensed in Oklahoma, Texas, and Nevada with over of 15 years of fulfilled working experience. I graduated from the University of Oklahoma in 2007 and obtained a Master of Human Relations degree (MHR). In 2010, I obtained my first license to practice as a Licensed Professional counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma and started my career that same year.

Over the course of my career, I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including relationship issues, depression, anxiety, unresolved trauma, unresolved grief, and stress.

My therapeutic approach combines cognitive behavioral, client-centered, humanistic, trauma-focused and solution-focused therapy. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

A great therapeutic relationship established at the onset of meeting the client is vital to bring about the change expected, which is why finding a therapist that the client feels comfortable with is half the battle. I AM THAT THERAPIST. So, I strive to establish a great therapeutic relationship with clients that fosters a strong rapport, trust, unconditional positive regard, respect, dignity and compassion. As a non-judgmental and open-minded listener, I approach the therapeutic relationship with acute sensitivity to multi/cross-cultural factors.

I constantly remind myself that the basic core of therapy is about helping people get unstuck from recurring and distruptive emotional thoughts. When this is achieved, clients appreciate the importance of therapy.

Above all, I love helping people and doing so gives me the great joy to keep impacting lives.
