About Abigail
Abigail Reiner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on family and parenting concerns, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and bipolar disorder. Abigail works in English and Spanish and has experience addressing blended family issues among other related concerns.
Her practice emphasizes straightforward conversation and practical goals. Sessions look at current problems and concrete steps people can take. She draws on client-centered work to follow what the person brings to session and uses solution-focused strategies to set clear, achievable aims.
Abigail also uses motivational interviewing techniques to help people find internal reasons to change habits that get in the way of relationships and wellbeing. That approach is often used with substance concerns and with people facing big life transitions. She has worked with teens and young adults as well as adults across the lifespan.
In sessions she tends to prioritize communication skills, setting realistic expectations for household roles, and managing strong emotions linked to abandonment, attachment, or past trauma. Practical tools and straightforward feedback are typical parts of the work. Her background includes supporting people through divorce, adoption and foster care questions, and caregiver stress.
People who come to her can expect a focus on measurable progress and a plan for next steps. She encourages planning for change that fits everyday life and can help clarify choices about parenting, co-parenting, and merging households.
How Abigail uses therapy approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the center of the session. The therapist listens closely and follows the client’s priorities, helping them name concerns and decide next steps. This approach fits issues like self-esteem, family conflict, and emotional reactions.Solution-Focused Therapy narrows in on small, practical changes. Sessions aim to set clear, short-term goals and build on what already works. That focus is useful for parenting challenges, communication problems, and blending household routines.
Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change behaviors that cause problems. It is often used when substance use, low motivation, or resistant patterns are part of the concern.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options and help determine which methods match a person’s goals and preferences. Clients and the therapist set priorities together and adapt methods as progress is tracked.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around school or work, have a shorter check-in when needed, or use audio-only calls if bandwidth is limited. These practical benefits often help people maintain consistent appointments while juggling daily responsibilities.
