About Abigail

Abigail Baglione is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York with 13 years of clinical experience. She focuses on relationship and trauma-related concerns and helps people manage anxiety, depression, mood swings, and addiction. Her work often addresses self-esteem, grief, stress, and challenges tied to intimacy and life transitions.

Abigail draws on Narrative Therapy and attachment-informed ideas to understand how life stories and early bonds shape current patterns.

Background and approach

She believes early attachments influence how people relate to themselves and others, but she also emphasizes that change is possible. Sessions are conversational and aim to help people rewrite the parts of their story that cause pain. Her toolbox includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered methods, and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

She blends these approaches to teach emotion regulation, mindful awareness, and practical skills for daily life. She also offers meditation and body-awareness practices from a background as a 500-hour certified yoga teacher. Abigail has worked with adults coping with traumatic brain injury and with people facing substance use struggles, and she approaches these concerns without judgment.

She pays attention to patterns like abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, and difficulties with control and communication. Sessions are offered in English through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step connect a person to her practice.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Abigail commonly draws on Narrative Therapy to help people tell and retell their life stories in ways that reduce shame and increase choice. Narrative work looks at the meanings people give to events and helps separate the person from the problem so new actions become possible. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) complements this by teaching how to notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then commit to values-based steps that move life forward. Attachment-Based Therapy adds focus on how early relationships shaped current patterns, helping people name hurts and practice new ways of relating.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Abigail will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and everyday realities and then suggest which methods to prioritize. Together they check what works and adjust the plan as sessions progress.

Online therapy here is offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different needs. Video calls let people work face to face from anywhere, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or mobility constraints while still using narrative, ACT, and attachment-focused work.
