About Abigail
Abigail Bensko is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Colorado with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and helping people navigate significant life transitions, bringing a practical and person-centered approach to each case.
Background and approach
As an LPC she blends evidence-based tools with empathic listening to support clients through difficult moments and complex emotions. Abigail aims to build a welcoming environment where clients can express thoughts and feelings without judgment.
She combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered and emotionally-focused techniques, tailoring interventions to a person’s needs while honoring their pace and preferences. Her work also extends to blended family matters, communication problems, substance-related concerns, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, first responder issues, questions of life purpose, and self-harm, addressing these areas with sensitivity and collaboration.
Beginning therapy can require courage, and Abigail emphasizes partnership in the therapeutic process. She helps clients clarify goals, develop practical coping skills, and explore underlying patterns that affect well-being, adapting methods as progress unfolds.
Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Client-centered therapy emphasizes understanding each person's experience and creating a collaborative space where goals and pacing are decided together; it helps people feel heard and become more engaged in change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical skills to manage symptoms like anxiety or depression, which often adapts smoothly to online formats. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on exploring emotions and improving emotional connection, offering structured ways to work through relationship and attachment-related concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and the therapist will work collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That relationship between client and therapist guides decisions about which techniques to emphasize and when to try different strategies.
Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for scheduling and lets clients engage from different locations. These options make it easier to fit regular care into busy lives, maintain continuity through transitions, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for discussing sensitive topics.
