About Abbey

Abbey Tulgestke is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Michigan who brings five years of clinical experience to his practice. He focuses on helping people who struggle with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and ADHD-related concentration and focus difficulties.

Background and approach

Abbey emphasizes clients' existing strengths and works from the belief that each person is the expert on their own life, using that perspective to guide collaborative work toward clearer goals and improved functioning. He also addresses related concerns such as self-esteem, impulsivity, mood disorders, panic symptoms, and issues connected to attachment, abandonment, and relationship communication.

Abbey integrates attention to life transitions and identity topics including isolation, life purpose, pregnancy and childbirth, and challenges around control, forgiveness, and body image. His approach aims to make beginning therapy approachable, acknowledging that taking that first step takes courage and offering steady support as clients move forward.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Options

Abbey draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical skills and insight. One common approach focuses on building attention, organization, and coping strategies for people experiencing concentration and ADHD-related difficulties; this includes techniques to manage impulsivity and improve task follow-through. Another approach centers on addressing anxiety and trauma-related symptoms through structured strategies that help reduce panic and reactivity while strengthening emotional regulation and safety skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Abbey works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He views clients as partners in planning treatment, adapting techniques over time to match progress and changing priorities rather than prescribing a single path from the start.

Online therapy with Abbey is offered through a variety of formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - to make care more flexible and accessible for different schedules and comfort levels. These options allow clients to engage in consistent work, try different communication styles, and maintain continuity of support when in-person visits are not practical.
