Abigail is an incredible listener. She is very understanding, intuitive, and gentle with her therapy style. She has a friendly approach that put me at ease in our sessions. She also would include personal life experiences every so often which was so helpful to get someone else’s perspective and advice! I would recommend her, particularly for younger (maybe college aged) people as I am in college and had a very easy time talking to her.

More about Abigail
- 5 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida. I have 10 years experience working with clients in various stages of life. As a counselor I have worked with individuals who have had major mental health, substance abuse as well as some who were dual diagnosed. I have worked with children and families from the Foster Care system that have experienced abuse, abandonment, neglect and complex trauma. In addition to their trauma I have also worked with families and children to address their adoption related challenges. I have also had the experience of working with the elderly population and their family, working through the challenges of end of life decisions and coping with end of life illnesses.
As a counselor my approach is to work with the clients in a partnership to explore solutions to what the client identifies as their challenge. My goal is to work together with each client to build a safe and therapeutic environment. My therapeutic approach is solution focused while also allowing the client to lead the direction of the session.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
