Will Abshier, LPC they/them

Howdy! My name is Will Abshier, LPC (they). I'm a queer southerner providing telehealth individual counseling services to residents of Texas & California. SPECIALTY I specialize in LGBTQ+ mental health, concerns of gender & sexuality, quality of life concerns, and trauma. My specialty and training comes from 5 years of experience serving the LGBTQ+ community and my life as a gay nonbinary person. It's my strong belief that effective therapy needs to be accessible, individualized, mindfulness-based, and solution-focused. I work creatively with each of my clients to provide them a truly meaningful experience in therapy. APPROACH My therapeutic approach is solution-focused, evidenced-based, and grounded in mindfulness. I practice Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Behavioral Therapies (CBT & DBT). In treatment I support clients to identify their authentic values and with those discover meaningful paths to a greater quality of life. I enjoy helping folks learn what mindfulness actually means to them (SPOILER: it's not just meditation!). Sessions with me are a balance of structure and present moment experiencing. COLLABORATION It's important to me that goals in treatment are set by clients' own values. Sometimes that can be daunting, maybe you don't even know what those are, and that's okay! I'm here to guide you toward self-discovery and provide helpful practices for knowing yourself well. Sessions with me are structured to prioritize the goals set by my clients and the plan of treatment we create collaboratively. You will likely find me "benevolently demanding" as I use kindness and self-compassion to keep you on track!
