Provisionally Licensed Professional Counselor
Hi! My name is Katelyn Abner. I provide therapy services at our Charleston clinic.
I received my Bachelor’s degree in child development and education, and received my Master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling! Due to my diverse education, I work with individuals 6 and older. I love to utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, client-centered therapy, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy! I am a military spouse, so I have extensive knowledge on the challenges of veterans, service members, and their families. I would love to develop a collaborative therapeutic relationship where you are in control and empowered!
Together, we can work to give you the tools to cope with life’s everyday stressors, and stressors that have imposed trauma on your life. We will explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to give your brain the tools to process events and thoughts in a way that creates positive behavior and outcomes! I strive to empower you!
I believe understanding the importance of thoughts our brains have can allow us to take control of our thinking and our lives! As a mother, wife, military spouse, and coach, I understand how challenging life can be. Through our time together, we will explore how to effectively navigate these stressors to create a better, successful life for ourselves!
