How Abby works
Many people come to her for help after difficult life changes, painful family patterns, or experiences of abuse. She also addresses issues like abandonment, attachment wounds, body image, codependency, caregiver stress, and problems with trust or commitment. The aim is to reduce distress and increase practical options for day-to-day life.
Abby describes her style as gently challenging yet validating. She offers direct feedback paired with encouragement so people can try new ways of coping. This approach is meant to help people learn more about themselves and move toward their goals.
Sessions use clear steps so progress feels trackable. New clients complete an intake and set goals, and then work together on skills and insights. Abby supports people who are motivated to change and willing to explore what gets in the way.

Online support options
Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life
Client-centered therapy puts the client's experience at the center of each session. The therapist listens closely, reflects what matters to you, and helps you set your own goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety and improve coping skills. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches specific strategies for managing intense emotions and improving communication and distress tolerance.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first based on goals, challenges, and preferences. That collaborative process allows adjustments over time if something isn't helping.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat or text-based messaging can suit people who prefer shorter, written check-ins or need more frequent touchpoints between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue care from different locations.
