About Abigail
Abigail Thurlow is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Connecticut with 13 years of counseling experience. She currently works in medication assisted treatment for substance use while also seeing clients in a independent practice setting. Abigail meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps forward.
She has spent years supporting people with depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and addiction. Her background includes work in group homes, correctional settings, and with older adults facing aging and cancer-related challenges.
Background and approach
That variety informs how she adapts care to fit different life situations. Abigail aims for a warm and straightforward therapy style. Sessions are direct but understanding, with room for honest conversation and reflection.
She values the working relationship and uses it as the basis for change. Her approach draws on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. She mixes methods to match a person’s needs and goals rather than relying on a single method.
Common concerns she addresses include grief, relationship and intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem, sleep and eating struggles, bipolar and mood disorders, panic, trauma, career worries, and the stress that comes with caregiving and major life transitions. Abigail focuses on small, manageable steps people can try between sessions. She speaks English and provides therapy in formats that fit varied schedules.
Prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire to begin scheduling sessions.
Approaches that translate to online care
Client-centered work focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. It gives people space to talk, identify what matters to them, and set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and offers simple tools to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and many day-to-day problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Abigail will help you decide which methods fit your goals, needs, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so sessions stay focused on what helps you make steady progress.
Online therapy here is offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for more in-depth talk and visual connection, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging lets you share updates or reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and different routines while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady support.
