Abby Jacobsen (She/Her)

I specialize in helping clients understand and manage anxiety from all sources—whether it’s generalized anxiety, social anxiety, panic, or trauma-related anxiety. I use CBT to challenge unhelpful thought patterns, Brainspotting and parts work to address underlying emotional triggers, and mindfulness techniques to build nervous system regulation. My approach helps clients feel more grounded, present, and in control of their emotional responses.

I specialize in treating PTSD from a wide range of experiences, including childhood trauma, relationship violence, accidents, and other life-threatening events. I use Brainspotting, EMDR-informed techniques, CBT, and parts work to help clients process traumatic memories, reduce triggers, and regulate their nervous systems. My approach focuses on building safety, emotional resilience, and restoring a sense of control and connection.

I specialize in helping survivors of domestic violence and intimate partner violence heal from trauma and emotional abuse. My expertise includes Brainspotting for trauma processing, CBT for rebuilding thought patterns and self-esteem, and parts work to address inner conflict and self-protection responses. I focus on safety, empowerment, and helping clients regain control over their lives.

I am a Certified Brainspotting Practitioner with advanced training in using this powerful, brain-body therapy to help clients process trauma, anxiety, and emotional blocks. Brainspotting allows us to access and release deep, stuck emotional and somatic material that traditional talk therapy often can’t reach, supporting lasting healing and nervous system regulation.

I have extensive clinical training and lived experience navigating trauma recovery. I deeply understand how trauma impacts the brain, body, and nervous system, and I tailor therapy to meet each client where they are in their healing process. My work is grounded in trauma-informed care, with a strong focus on safety, trust-building, and helping clients regain control over their lives and emotions.

I have advanced training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and apply it regularly in my clinical work. I’m skilled at helping clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, build coping strategies, and develop healthier emotional and behavioral responses. I often integrate CBT with other approaches, and use it as a foundational tool in helping clients create meaningful, practical change in their daily lives.
