Background and approach
Abigail combines practical skills with attention to emotional experience, so sessions often include both talk and concrete exercises. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and a client-centered stance. That mix lets her tailor tools to what a person needs most in the moment.
She also brings body-awareness and meditation techniques from her background in yoga when appropriate. Abigail has 13 years of clinical experience and holds a New York LCSW, license number NY LCSW 091666. She currently provides care to adults and works with people who have struggled with emotion regulation and substance issues, as well as those living with traumatic brain injury.
Her sessions aim to build clearer communication, steadier emotion regulation, and more intentional choices. She emphasizes collaboration - clients set goals and she helps pick the methods to reach them. If meditation or breathing practices feel useful, she can introduce them during sessions.
How Abigail’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being controlled by them and focuses on choosing actions that match personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks down patterns of thought and behavior and offers concrete steps to shift unhelpful thinking and routines; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping skills.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Abigail discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts techniques over time. Together they decide if more skills training, attachment work, or mindfulness practices are best for the issue at hand.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy lives. Video calls let visual connection for exercises and emotion-focused work. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option for a focused conversation. Live chat or text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, skill reminders, or when writing through thoughts feels easier. These options make it simpler to maintain regular contact and practice new skills between sessions.
