Abigail Baglione, LCSW - Therapist in New York

About Abigail

Abigail Baglione is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on relationship and family concerns. She helps people struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Her style is direct and practical, aimed at helping a worried parent understand what to expect in sessions.

Abigail uses clear language and real tools rather than jargon. Abigail earned her Master of Social Work from New York University and holds the LCSW credential.

Background and approach

She brings 13 years of clinical experience to her work and draws on multiple therapy methods to match what each person needs. She pays close attention to early attachment patterns and how they shape a person’s sense of self and relating to others.

In practice she blends approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to address emotion regulation, coping skills, and problematic patterns. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at early relationships and their effects on current struggles.

Her sessions can include body awareness and brief guided meditations when those tools seem helpful, reflecting her additional training as a 500-hour certified yoga teacher. Abigail has experience supporting people who face addiction, traumatic injury, bipolar disorder, ADHD, chronic illness, and complex grief. She aims to reduce shame and judgment while teaching practical strategies for handling stress and strong emotions.

Brief homework and skill-building are common parts of her work. For parents and adults worried about relationship dynamics or major life changes, she offers straightforward guidance and collaborative planning. Her approach balances understanding the past with clear steps to feel more capable in the present.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It teaches values-based actions so someone can move toward a more meaningful life even when emotions are strong. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches concrete skills to change them, which helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clear communication skills, and can be helpful for people who struggle with intense interpersonal emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals, explain options, and recommend which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and methods can be adjusted as needs and preferences become clearer.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around family life, work, and medical appointments. They also allow use of worksheets, short practice exercises, and brief check-ins between sessions to reinforce skills learned in therapy.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
