About Abigail

Abigail Thurlow is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Connecticut with 13 years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She has cared for people across a range of settings including medication assisted treatment for substance use, independent practice, group homes, and work with clients involved in the Department of Corrections system. Her background includes focused work with depression, anxiety, PTSD, aging and geriatric concerns, cancer-related issues, and addiction-related care.

Abigail approaches therapy with warmth and directness, emphasizing the importance of the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change. She draws from multiple evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, client-centered practices, and motivational interviewing to tailor treatment to each person's needs.

Common areas she supports include stress, mood disorders, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, ADHD, and coping with life transitions. In sessions she aims to create a nonjudgmental space where clients can be authentic while working toward practical goals.

Her style blends empathy with clear, skill-based interventions so clients gain insight and strategies to manage symptoms, improve functioning, and navigate complex life challenges.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Abigail frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) which helps people identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns and build practical coping skills for issues like anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. She also incorporates dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills useful for intense emotions and relationship challenges. Mindfulness practices are woven into sessions to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Abigail works with each client to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in session, adapting methods over time so treatment remains aligned with changing needs and outcomes.

Online therapy with Abigail is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, access consistent support, and use different communication styles to practice skills between sessions.
