Abigail Pickard, LPC

Hi, I’m Abigail, a Licensed Professional Counselor with a passion for helping adults overcome challenges such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, and trauma-related disorders. Many of my clients feel weighed down by past experiences or overwhelmed by their thoughts and emotions, unsure of how to move forward. Together, we work to stop struggling against difficult internal experiences and instead focus on responding to them in ways that align with their values and support meaningful change.

I offer specialized care using both Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), two highly effective therapeutic approaches. ACT provides a framework for helping clients respond effectively to their thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their personal values. This approach fosters resilience and empowers clients to create a meaningful and fulfilling life. EMDR is a powerful evidence-based therapy for addressing trauma and other distressing experiences. It helps clients process and resolve the emotional impact of past events, enabling them to break free from patterns of distress and move forward with clarity and confidence.

Beyond my professional life, I am a proud mom to two wonderful children. I enjoy traveling, playing board games with friends and family, and hiking in the beautiful North Georgia mountains. These personal passions keep me grounded, and they remind me of the importance of creating balance and joy in life—principles I aim to bring into my work with clients.

My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate space where you feel supported as we work together to build resilience, develop effective coping strategies, and achieve your goals. You don’t have to face your challenges alone. Therapy offers the tools, guidance, and empathy you need to create meaningful change and take steps toward the life you envision. If you’re ready to begin this journey, I invite you to reach out and start the journey to a better life.
