Abigail Baglione , LCSW

Abigail Baglione is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who earned her Master of Social Work from New York University School of Social Work. She frames her clinical work around the lasting influence of early relationships, drawing on object relations ideas to explore how primary caregivers shape self-esteem and the ways people relate to themselves and others. This focus on attachment informs her compassionate, curious approach to therapy.

Over a 13-year career, Abigail has developed particular experience with difficulties in emotional regulation, including work with people who carry a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder or who show similar relational patterns. She also has experience treating substance use and addiction, and she provides psychotherapy for adults who have sustained traumatic brain injury, helping them navigate challenges with mood and connection. Abigail integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques when clients need structured skills for managing intense emotions.

Her practice is informed by a blend of clinical methods, including client-centered work that emphasizes the client therapist relationship and practices that build present-moment awareness. Abigail is a 500-hour certified yoga teacher and incorporates body awareness and guided meditations into sessions for clients who find those approaches helpful. She encourages people to explore how attachment histories, coping patterns, and present concerns interact, and she supports clients in making practical changes that feel meaningful and achievable.

Abigail approaches each person without judgment and with an emphasis on possibility and change. She works with a wide range of concerns - from relationship and family issues to trauma, grief, mood disorders, and life transitions - bringing a steady, relational focus to the therapeutic work.

Attachment, Skills Work, and Online Care

Abigail uses approaches that center relationships and practical skills. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early caregiver relationships shape self-worth and patterns in adult relationships, helping clients understand and shift longstanding relational habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, and is often helpful for people who struggle with intense emotions in relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports personal growth.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Abigail works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, adapting methods over time rather than applying a single technique from the start.

Online therapy with Abigail can take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and for those who prefer to meet from home. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different formats, and fit therapy into everyday life while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor care to individual needs.
