About Abigail

Abigail Baglione is an LCSW with 13 years of clinical experience who works from a trauma-informed, attachment-aware perspective.

Background and approach

She addresses a wide range of concerns including relationship and intimacy challenges, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and identity struggles, anxiety and depression, mood and bipolar disorders, ADHD, addictions, grief, stress, and career-related issues. Additional focus areas include abandonment, attachment issues, body image, chronic pain and illness, codependency, blended family dynamics, and communication and control problems.

Her style blends evidence-informed techniques with attention to early attachment patterns and emotional regulation. Abigail integrates cognitive behavioral tools to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and she uses dialectical skills for managing intense emotions and interpersonal instability.

Attachment-based perspectives guide her work on how early relational experiences shape current patterns, while client-centered principles keep treatment grounded in the individual's goals and strengths.

Located in New York, she brings experience supporting adults with substance use concerns and with traumatic brain injury, and she offers additional practices such as guided meditation and body-awareness work drawn from her background as a 500-hour certified yoga teacher. Abigail emphasizes collaboration and flexibility when planning therapy pathways with each person.

Using Evidence-Based Approaches in Online Therapy



Abigail commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and many day-to-day challenges. DBT emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness, and is useful for people struggling with intense emotions or relationship instability.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to explore their goals, preferences, and life context and will adapt methods as needed rather than insisting on a single model. Together they will try strategies, track what helps, and refine the plan over time.

Online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexibility for scheduling and for how people prefer to communicate. These options make it easier to fit consistent sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity when schedules change, and access ongoing support from a licensed professional without the need for travel.
