He is an LCSW practicing in New York with seven years of clinical experience. Aby aims to make therapy clear and practical for worried parents and anyone feeling overwhelmed.
Aby uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations and skill-building. Sessions focus on understanding personal history, spotting patterns in relationships, and learning tools to manage strong emotions.
How Aby works
He talks through concrete steps clients can try between sessions to test what works. He pays close attention to attachment and abandonment concerns, and to patterns like codependency, avoidant or dependent personality traits, and commitment worries. Aby also addresses family of origin issues, blended family stresses, and fatherhood concerns in individual sessions.
He helps people navigate guilt, shame, isolation, and body image distress with steady support. Therapy with Aby blends empathy and structure. He encourages clients to name small, achievable goals and practices simple coping strategies for daily life.
Conversations move at the client’s pace while still making room for change. People meet by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. The process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling, then working together to set priorities and track progress.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care
Aby uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in plain, usable ways. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, then practice small changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Another approach focuses on understanding attachment and relationship patterns to reduce isolation and build clearer expectations in relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work and happens together. He will listen to a person’s goals and preferences, try techniques that fit, and adjust plans based on what helps. Collaboration guides which methods are emphasized and how skills are practiced between sessions.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video allows face-to-face interaction, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing brief contact between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and varied life demands.
