Abigail Baglione , LCSW

Abigail Baglione is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York who helps people manage relationship pain, trauma, anxiety, depression, and struggles with addiction. She works with issues tied to self-esteem, intimacy, grief, and life transitions, and also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and LGBT-related stress. Her approach is practical and direct, aimed at making day-to-day coping feel more manageable.

Abigail combines evidence-based methods with attention to early attachment experiences. She pays close attention to how early caregiver relationships shape self-worth and patterns in adult relationships. That perspective guides conversations about why certain reactions repeat and what can change.

She often uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts, choose values-based actions, and build new habits. For people who struggle with intense emotions in relationships, she draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

Her work also includes Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches, which emphasize understanding early bonds and offering a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic stance. Abigail integrates mindfulness and somatic awareness from her yoga background when clients are interested in body-based practices and brief meditations.

Abigail has 13 years of clinical experience and offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and services are provided in English to adults in New York.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to her availability.

Approaches that shape online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without fighting them and choose actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life-change decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying out small behavior changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can help when emotions feel overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to explore goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they adapt methods from ACT, CBT, DBT, and attachment-informed work so the plan fits the person's needs and pace.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video is useful for full sessions with visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit work on relationships, coping skills, and emotion regulation into a busy schedule.
