Abbey Lipsey is an Associate Clinician at The Anxiety Center who is deeply committed to helping individuals feel less stuck, more capable, and more confident in their daily lives. She understands how overwhelming anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD and ADHD can feel and she works alongside clients to help them regain a sense of control and hope.
Abbey began her career with a strong passion for supporting children and adolescents and now works with children, teens, families, and adults. Clients often describe her as warm, calm, and easy to talk to. She creates a supportive, collaborative space where clients feel truly heard while also being gently challenged to build skills that lead to real, lasting change.
Using evidence-based approaches such as CBT, ERP, and ACT, Abbey helps clients develop practical coping strategies, increase emotional resilience, and take meaningful steps toward the life they want to live. She believes therapy should be both compassionate and effective, providing encouragement, structure, and tools that clients can use beyond the therapy room.
My Passion
“I believe therapy works best when it helps people move toward the goals they have for themselves. My goal is to walk alongside clients as they face challenges, build new skills, and create a life that feels more manageable, meaningful, and aligned with what matters most to them.”
Outside of work, Abbey enjoys spending time with her child, family, and friends. She values staying active, serving her community, and deepening her faith in Jesus within the Christian and Catholic tradition. Guided by values of compassion, humility, and care for others, Abbey strives to bring warmth and integrity into all areas of her life. She also enjoys volunteering through her church and listening to podcasts.
