About Abigail
Abigail Thurlow is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Connecticut with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing depression, anxiety, addiction, PTSD, and ADHD. Abigail aims to make the first step feel manageable and meets people where they are with a direct but compassionate approach.

Background and approach
That range shaped a practical, flexible style. Abigail uses a mix of approaches to fit each person's goals. She draws on client-centered methods to build trust and on cognitive behavioral techniques to address thinking and behavior.
Dialectical behavior skills and mindfulness are used for emotion regulation and stress management. Sessions focus on concrete steps and real-life coping tools. She offers a straightforward, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through relationship strain, grief, anger, career stress, or the ups and downs of mood disorders.
Practical problem solving and motivational interviewing help when change feels overwhelming. Abigail also has experience with aging and geriatric concerns, cancer-related stress, caregiver burnout, and co-occurring substance and mental health issues. She brings steady, clear guidance for people navigating big life changes or complex health challenges.
How Abigail blends proven approaches for online care
Abigail often combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy to help people make practical changes. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and building a trusting relationship. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address ADHD-related challenges.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills when intense emotions or impulsive reactions are a concern. DBT techniques teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that help during crises and in daily life. Abigail approaches therapy collaboratively and will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people juggling work, medical issues, or caregiving. Video calls allow full conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a busy day or require less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging provide shorter check-ins or on-the-go support. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to practice new skills between sessions.
