Approaches for Online Care and Practical Support

Abigail draws from client-centered therapy to create a collaborative, nonjudgmental space where the client s own goals and values guide the work; this approach supports life transitions, relationship concerns, and family dynamics by emphasizing empathy and respect for each person s perspective.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a skills-based method that helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; CBT is commonly applied for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood challenges and aims to produce practical coping strategies. When emotional regulation or intense reactions are present she incorporates elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach tools for managing intense feelings, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Abigail works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which methods align best with each person s needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques as therapy progresses to ensure the best possible fit.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for clients with busy schedules, geographical constraints, or caregiving responsibilities. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access therapists from a range of locations while fitting sessions into everyday life.
