Abigail Baglione, LCSW

Abigail Baglione is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who helps people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, and addiction. She works with concerns such as self-esteem, grief, intimacy challenges, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and stress from life changes. Abigail writes plainly and aims to make therapy feel practical and doable.

She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. She also uses acceptance and commitment principles to help people clarify what matters to them and build small steps toward those values. Attachment-based ideas guide her thinking about how early relationships shape current patterns.

Sessions tend to be direct and collaborative. Abigail listens for family and relationship patterns and helps clients find manageable skills for emotional regulation and communication. She sometimes combines mindfulness and body-awareness techniques from her yoga background when clients want that option.

Abigail has 13 years of experience working with adults across a range of challenges. She has worked with people who have trauma, substance use concerns, and traumatic brain injury, and she brings a nonjudgmental stance toward intense emotional reactions. Her goal is to help people gain clearer choices and better day-to-day coping.

She holds a Master of Social Work and the LCSW credential and uses those clinical foundations to support practical growth. Clients who want to begin can expect a mix of skills practice, problem-solving, and reflective work on relationships and values.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work

Abigail uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors by trying small experiments and new habits. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and daily stressors where thought patterns and routines affect mood.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people name their values and take committed action despite difficult feelings. ACT supports coping with chronic problems, grief, and identity questions by focusing on what matters rather than getting stuck in avoidance.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a team effort. Abigail will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level, and she will adjust the plan as progress unfolds. That collaborative process helps clients try new skills at a comfortable pace.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face work and skills coaching, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited, live chat supports brief check-ins, and messaging is useful for ongoing support between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for people juggling busy schedules or caregiving responsibilities.
