Abigail Tague , LICSW

Abigail Tague, LICSW (Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker), works with people who feel pressured to present only the parts of themselves they think others expect to see. She recognizes how comparing one’s inner experience to someone else’s outward presentation can create shame and a sense of being abnormal, and she invites clients to explore the self that exists beyond those curated versions. In therapy she helps clients uncover and express the aspects of themselves that want to be seen and known, supporting a fuller sense of identity and belonging.

Abigail emphasizes rebuilding the mind-body connection, cultivating self-compassion, and developing shame resilience as pathways back to authenticity. Her approach encourages embodying one’s values and rediscovering alignment with personal needs, which in turn supports stronger connections with others. Treatment is individualized to the person or couple in front of her - the client leads the work and Abigail walks alongside them, offering guidance and support at each step toward their goals.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying what matters to them. It combines mindfulness and practical steps so clients can take action toward a life that reflects their values, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and patterns that hold someone back.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape expectations and ways of relating to others. By exploring attachment patterns, clients can improve connection, communication, and emotional safety in current relationships, addressing issues like codependency or difficulty trusting others.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the client’s experience and emphasizes empathic listening and unconditional regard. This approach supports self-discovery and self-compassion, creating space for clients to set the pace and direction of therapy.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Abigail will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust the plan as therapy progresses in a way that feels respectful and responsive.

Online sessions offer flexibility - clients can meet by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives or access support from different locations. Licensed professionals can use these formats to maintain continuity of care, adapt interventions, and support progress across a range of concerns.
