Background and approach

She aims to listen closely and respond in ways that make sense for each person’s situation. Abigail draws on several common therapy methods to shape sessions.

She also supports exploring communication and blended family concerns when those issues come up. Her work includes supporting people dealing with substance use concerns, first responder stress, and difficult mood patterns such as Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder.

Online support

How Abigail combines proven approaches with online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the person’s lead and building trusting rapport. It helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental place to sort feelings and decide what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers simple exercises to reduce anxiety, lift mood, and change patterns that get in the way of daily life.

EMDR is used as one approach for addressing troubling memories and the strong emotions tied to them. In session the work moves at a pace chosen by the client and is aimed at reducing the intensity of those memories.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and will suggest methods that fit their needs. That choice is collaborative and may change as progress is made.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls let people meet face to face, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter updates, ongoing support between sessions, or for people who prefer typing to speaking. This mix of formats gives flexibility and helps people keep therapy consistent with daily demands.
