Abigail Baglione, LCSW

Abigail Baglione is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York who brings 13 years of clinical experience to her work with adults facing a wide range of life challenges. She holds a Master of Social Work from New York University School of Social Work and integrates a thoughtful, eclectic approach informed by decades of practice. Abigail places particular emphasis on early attachment experiences and how those primary relationships shape self-esteem, emotional regulation, and later connections with others. This focus on attachment is grounded in object relations ideas and guides much of her clinical lens when assessing relational patterns and longstanding difficulties.

She has substantial experience supporting people who struggle with emotion regulation, including those with borderline personality features and individuals coping with substance use concerns. Abigail uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) strategies when clients need structured skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Alongside therapy for trauma, grief, anxiety, mood disorders, and challenges such as addiction or relationship conflict, she works with adults recovering from traumatic brain injury where emotion regulation and behavioral strategies are central to care.

Abigail also offers somatic and mindfulness-informed options drawn from her 500-hour certified yoga teacher training, including body-awareness practices and guided meditations when clients are interested. She emphasizes collaboration, practical skills, and the possibility of change while maintaining a nonjudgmental stance toward those navigating complex emotional and relational lives.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Abigail often draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships influence current patterns of relating and self-worth - this approach helps people understand long-standing emotional responses and build more secure connections. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT - to teach concrete skills for managing intense emotions, reducing self-harm or impulsive behaviors, and improving interpersonal effectiveness when relationships feel volatile. In addition, her client-centered orientation emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, so the therapist follows each person's pace and priorities while supporting their strengths.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Abigail works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting interventions over time so treatment feels practical and personally meaningful.

Online therapy with Abigail is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without the need to travel, and they allow therapy to fit into busy lives while maintaining a focus on measurable skills and relational healing.
