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!

I’ve had such a positive experience working with Holly. She’s kind, compassionate, and genuinely supportive. I’ve always felt like she’s in my corner—encouraging me, challenging me when I need it, and helping me work through things at my own pace. Her approach feels warm and grounded, and I’ve seen real growth in myself since starting sessions with her. I’m truly grateful to have her as part of my healing journey.

Holly knows the right questions to ask to get to the truth and find the root of the issue

Holly has been a godsend to me. After years of debating about therapy, and bad experiences years ago, I decided to give it a try again, and Holly has been wonderful. She has listened, helped me learn some very helpful ways to think and consider my circumstances, helped me talk through a number of my personal issues, and has really set me up for the mental and emotional stability that I was looking for. I could not recommend Holly any more highly than I do right now. She's a great person and a very effective therapist.
