Abbie Hancock

Abbie Hancock is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people coping with stress, anxiety, panic attacks, addictions, trauma, and low self-esteem. She writes brief, practical plans with each client and focuses on what will make day-to-day life feel more manageable. Her tone is respectful and compassionate, and she encourages small steps that add up over time.

With 13 years of experience in practice, Abbie adapts conversations to each person's needs. She listens first, then suggests approaches that fit the situation. Sessions aim to be straightforward and useful rather than abstract or theoretical.

She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify thinking patterns that keep problems going, and she draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills for managing strong emotions in the moment. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas help people clarify values and take committed action toward what matters to them.

Abbie also brings client-centered and existential perspectives, which means she centers each person's experience and helps them find meaning when life feels confusing or empty. She works collaboratively to set goals and review progress so therapy stays practical and relevant.

People dealing with panic disorder and panic attacks or persistent worry often focus on skill-building and short-term strategies early on. Abbie tailors those strategies to daily life so clients can try techniques between sessions and notice what helps. Starting therapy is framed as a step-by-step process rather than a single fix.
