Abigail Bensko, LPC

Abigail Bensko is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with three years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and the many shifts that come with life changes. Her practice also addresses relationship concerns, blended family issues, communication problems, and challenges such as substance use, self-harm, and needs specific to first responders and youth with Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD).

Abigail takes a collaborative, client-centered approach, creating a welcoming space where thoughts and feelings can be explored without judgment. She draws on therapies such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and EMDR to tailor care to each person’s situation and goals. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, she brings clinical training and a commitment to practical strategies that aim to improve daily functioning and emotional well-being.

Abigail recognizes that starting therapy requires courage and offers supportive guidance for that first step. She works alongside clients to set realistic goals, develop coping skills, and strengthen communication so they can move forward with greater clarity and resilience.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Abigail works with several evidence-informed approaches to meet different needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person’s priorities drive the work and the therapist offers empathy and support to foster self-directed growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve coping skills. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, commonly called EMDR, is used to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact, which can be especially helpful for trauma-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Abigail will work with each person to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the issues they want to address, adjusting the plan as progress is made. This collaborative stance helps tailor treatment to what actually helps the individual.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - so people can access licensed professionals from home or while managing busy schedules. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to fit therapy into everyday life.
