About Abigail
Abigail Buteau is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common and complex concerns such as trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stress, and career challenges. Sessions address both pressing problems and everyday strains that affect family life and work.
Her background includes work with people impacted by foster care, adoption and attachment issues. She has experience helping those who faced abandonment, neglect, and complex trauma. She has also supported caregivers and people navigating end-of-life decisions and hospice-related stress.
In session she relies on methods that invite the client to set goals and lead the conversation. Abigail uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify practical next steps and Client-Centered Therapy to follow the person’s priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is included when clients want to look at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going.
Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She listens for what matters most and then helps plan small, achievable changes. That can mean short-term coaching for a specific issue or regular sessions to work through deeper loss or trauma.
People typically contact her when they need help managing strong emotions, repairing difficult relationships, or balancing caregiving and life demands. Sessions also address fertility, communication difficulties, codependency, and immigration-related stress.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s priorities. Online sessions using this approach let the person set the pace and topics while the therapist reflects and clarifies what matters most. It is useful for relationship concerns, parenting stress, and self-esteem work.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In an online session CBT can include identifying unhelpful thought patterns, trying new behaviors between meetings, and reviewing progress together. This approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Abigail will discuss options and collaborate with clients to decide which methods to try based on their goals and preferences. That may mean focusing on short-term problem solving, tracking behavior changes, or addressing traumatic experiences more gradually.
Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and fit sessions into a workday or caregiving routine. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when life is busy or for longer meetings when deeper processing is needed.
