About Abigail
Abigail Reiner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who emphasizes Client-Centered, solution-focused care. She draws on 15 years of experience to help people navigate parenting challenges, relationship stress, mood concerns, and life transitions. Abigail speaks English and Spanish and aims to make sessions straightforward and practical.
Her approach centers on listening first and tailoring conversations to each person's needs. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to the client, Motivational Interviewing to support change when motivation feels stuck, and Solution-Focused Therapy to build concrete next steps.
Background and approach
Sessions often focus on clear goals and small, realistic shifts that add up over time. Abigail's background includes substantial work with substance use, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, and self-esteem struggles. She also addresses issues such as adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and communication problems.
Her experience supports parents looking for practical strategies as they juggle day-to-day demands. Therapy with Abigail tends to be collaborative and goal-oriented. She aims to help people feel better and resolve problems without prolonging treatment unnecessarily.
Conversations are adapted to the individual's pace and life situation. For parents worried about behavior, emotions, or changing family roles, Abigail offers direct guidance and tools you can try between sessions. She encourages people to take the first step and promises a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate working relationship.

How Abigail’s Approaches Translate to Online Support
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The therapist creates space for people to say what matters most and then builds the work around those priorities. This approach helps when parents need someone to hear their concerns and make a practical plan.Motivational Interviewing is about helping someone find their own reasons to change. It uses gentle questions and reflections to boost confidence and commitment to small steps, which can be useful for behavior changes, substance use recovery, or following through on parenting plans.
Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on concrete goals and simple, doable actions. Sessions often identify what’s already working and expand those strengths into more helpful routines or habits.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to decide which methods fit the client's goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress is made or priorities change.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for short updates, reflection between sessions, or when fitting therapy into a busy day. These formats make it easier to access support from different locations and during varied schedules.
