About Abbey
Abbey Tulgestke is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan. He draws on five years of clinical experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and concerns with focus and concentration such as ADHD. Abbey emphasizes practical steps and straightforward conversation to make starting therapy feel less overwhelming.
He believes clients are the experts on their own lives and builds on existing strengths. Sessions focus on clear goals, small changes that add up, and ways to manage day-to-day symptoms.
Background and approach
Abbey uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood, panic, and trauma-related concerns without heavy jargon. Many clients come for help with low self-esteem, motivation, or feelings of isolation. Abbey also works with people facing attachment issues, abandonment wounds, or challenges around forgiveness and guilt.
He talks through practical strategies for improving communication, reducing impulsivity, and handling life changes like divorce or pregnancy and childbirth. When concentration or memory feel unreliable, Abbey helps people develop routines and tools to improve task follow-through. For those living with ADHD-related struggles he focuses on skills that support organization, pacing, and reducing overwhelm.
Abbey offers steady, solution-focused support while also validating how hard these problems can be. He offers sessions in English and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Starting involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time based on availability.
Evidence-based tools and online care that fit your life
Abbey uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills you can use right away. One approach emphasizes activity and behavior changes to lift mood and reduce avoidance; it helps with depression and low motivation by building manageable routines. Another approach centers on learning tools to manage anxiety and panic, such as breathing, grounding, and step-by-step exposure to feared situations to reduce panic responses.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Abbey will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and daily life, then try methods that match those needs. He treats the process as a collaborative effort, checking in and adjusting strategies when something isn’t helping.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you need a quick check-in. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer shorter, paced interactions or need support between longer sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different routines.
