About Abigail

Abigail Baglione is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with 13 years of experience. She works with adults facing relationship problems, family stress, trauma and abuse, codependency, addictions, anxiety, depression, and related concerns. Her approach is practical and direct, focused on how early relationships affect how people relate to others and to themselves.

Abigail frames many of her sessions around attachment ideas and object relations thinking. She describes how early caregiver relationships shape self-esteem and patterns in later relationships. That perspective is used to notice repeating patterns and to name what keeps a person stuck in people-pleasing, boundary difficulties, or emotional reactivity.

She also has experience with clients who struggle with emotional regulation, including people with borderline personality traits and those with substance use concerns. Abigail uses strategies from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to teach concrete skills for managing mood, impulses, and interpersonal conflict. She aims to help clients build clearer boundaries and steadier emotional responses.

Abigail integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and client-centered work into sessions, encouraging values-based choices and a collaborative stance. She also offers practices drawn from her 500-hour yoga teacher training, such as body-awareness exercises and brief guided meditations when requested.

People who reach out can expect straightforward conversation about patterns, practical skill-building, and attention to how past attachments shape current relationships. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.

How sessions work

How her therapeutic approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It is often useful for someone who feels stuck in people-pleasing or avoidance and wants to act differently in relationships. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early caregiver relationships and how those patterns repeat today. This approach is used to identify why someone may fear abandonment, have trouble with intimacy, or default to caretaking roles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on clear, teachable skills to change thinking and behavior. CBT exercises support managing anxiety, depressive thinking, and the actions that keep problems cycling.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Abigail will work with each person to see which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. She combines skills training, attachment insights, and values work to create a practical plan and adjusts that plan as sessions progress.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Discuss scheduling preferences and any interest in brief body-awareness or guided meditation exercises during the initial matching and first session.
