Abigail Baglione , LCSW

With 13 years of clinical experience, Abigail Baglione is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who earned her Master of Social Work from New York University School of Social Work. As an LCSW she is trained to assess and treat a wide range of mental health concerns while drawing on social work practice and clinical skills to support individuals through life transitions and emotional challenges.

Abigail favors an eclectic approach but places particular emphasis on early attachments and object relations theory - the idea that primary caregiving relationships shape self-esteem and patterns of relating throughout life. She has observed how these early dynamics influence clients of all ages and believes that, although formative experiences have a lasting effect, change is possible and often necessary.

She has substantial experience working with people who struggle with emotion regulation, including those with borderline personality disorder traits, substance use concerns, and adults recovering from traumatic brain injury. Abigail uses intensive, skills-based tools such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) when appropriate to help clients improve interpersonal regulation and coping.

In addition to clinical work, Abigail is a 500-hour certified yoga teacher who incorporates body awareness, meditation, and mindfulness practices into therapy when clients are interested. Her practice addresses relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, addiction, mood and anxiety disorders, grief, identity and intimacy concerns, and a range of attachment and developmental difficulties.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Abigail draws on attachment-based therapy to explore early caregiving relationships and how those patterns shape current self-image and interpersonal behavior. This approach helps people who struggle with intimacy, abandonment fears, communication problems, and long-standing relational patterns by increasing understanding of relational roots and promoting new ways of relating.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy - a skills-oriented approach that teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. DBT is often helpful for individuals who experience intense emotional reactions, difficulty managing relationships, or impulsive behaviors.

Abigail blends these methods with a client-centered stance that prioritizes empathy, respect, and collaboration. Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the therapeutic process; she works together with each person to identify the approaches that best fit their goals, needs, and preferences.

Online therapy with licensed professionals and therapists offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. This accessibility allows consistent support during life transitions, for those with mobility or time constraints, and for people seeking a range of communication styles while engaging in evidence-informed therapeutic work.
