I cannot express how helpful Abigail has been in the past few months. I’ve never been able to connect with prior counselors as well as I have with her. She is extremely easy to talk to and has helped me learn to cope with anxiety, anger, life… everything. I look forward to our weekly sessions, and truly feel like I have changed for the better since our first meeting. The best!

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step." Hello! I'm so happy that you are here. Taking the first step and asking for help is often one of the hardest things to do and I applaud your bravery!
My name is Abby and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor working in the state of Connecticut. I've worked as a counselor since 2008 and am currently employed in the field of Medication Assisted Treatment for Substance Use/Addiction. I also work at a private practice and see clients with a variety of needs including Depression, Anxiety, and PTSD amongst others. In addition, I am very knowledgeable in the areas of Elderly/Aging Issues, and Cancer. I spent 7 years working in group homes with young men and women who have advanced mental health and behavioral issues and have also worked with Department of Corrections meeting with clients in Half Way Housing and on Parole/Probation.
I believe that the therapeutic relationship is vitally important to success in treatment. My treatment style is warm and understanding but also straight forward. I utilize a variety of skills and therapy styles to create the kind of treatment that works best for you and your individual needs. I often use a number of different treatment modalities including CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused, Mindfulness, Person-Centered and Motivational Interviewing. I provide a supportive environment and a safe place to really be your authentic self. I am not here to judge. I am open minded, ready to listen, and most importantly, I am here to help. Whether you are here for a mental health issue, a life change, are struggling with a relationship problem, or if you just need someone that you can talk/vent to, I've got you! I appreciate you taking the time to consider allowing me to join you on your journey to healing and happiness and I look forward to meeting with you.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Abigail Thurlow is an awesome therapist! She was on time to the appointment 99% but on the super rare chance she was running late or needed to do a schedule change she let me know way in advance. I felt talking to her really improved me and her methods work great. I did text sessions but the conversation was also filled with personality. Abigail also puts a lot of care into her work from the way she help me with my bad days and the ways she introduced coping mechanisms so they weren't so bad! So if you get match up with Abigail or you are thinking about switching to her, you are in good hands!
I am happy to have been matched with Abigail! She is very understanding and easy to talk to! I feel like I have grown so much in just a few weeks. She makes me feel so hopeful in every aspect of my life. I appreciate how she gave me many helpful resources and suggestions to solve my problems. I am so glad I decided to sign up!
