About Abigail

Abigail Kelsey Judge is a licensed counselor with 15 years of experience helping people navigate crises and life transitions. Licensed as an LPC and LCPC, she has extensive experience working with children, adolescents, and families across individual, family, and group settings.

Background and approach

Abigail approaches disruptions large and small with practical problem-solving and steady support, aiming to help clients move from chaotic moments to more manageable daily patterns. She emphasizes building rapport quickly through direct, purposeful, and present work, and she treats clients' time as valuable by focusing sessions on goals the client sets.

Abigail is comfortable addressing a broad range of concerns including mood and anxiety disorders, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, self-esteem, ADHD, and related life changes. Her style is collaborative and flexible, offering early morning, evening, and weekend availability when possible to fit client schedules.

Integrating evidence-based approaches with online flexibility

Abigail draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related coping, and stress-related concerns. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills for clients who struggle with intense emotions or self-destructive patterns. Client-Centered Therapy is another core influence, emphasizing empathy, respect, and collaboration so clients feel heard and can guide the focus of care.

Choosing the right approach is presented as a collaborative process. She works with each person to clarify goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs before blending techniques that fit best. That collaborative planning helps clients understand why particular strategies are recommended and how they will be adapted over time.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase access and scheduling flexibility. These formats make it easier to connect during early mornings, evenings, or weekends and allow work to continue when in-person meetings are impractical. Licensed professionals can use these options to maintain therapeutic momentum while adapting methods such as CBT and DBT to the online setting.
