    About Abigail

    Abigail Berlin is a licensed social worker who helps people cope with grief, loss, stress, anxiety, trauma, and depression. She guides people through big life changes and supports those facing isolation, end-of-life concerns, or questions about life purpose. Abigail writes plainly and works alongside clients as they take steps toward feeling better.

    She approaches each conversation as a collaboration, believing people are the experts on their own lives. Abigail uses clear, goal-oriented methods to help people notice small changes that add up over time. She listens for strengths and builds on what already works in daily life.

    Abigail draws on Motivational Interviewing to explore what matters to a person and to find personal reasons for change. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term, practical goals. These approaches are used to address grief, stress, social anxiety, and related concerns.

    In sessions she focuses on simple, attainable steps rather than lengthy plans. Conversations often include setting a single short-term goal, trying a small behavior change, and reviewing what happened afterward. The work aims to make coping feel more manageable in everyday routines.

    She has seven years of professional experience and is licensed in Michigan as an LMSW, which stands for Licensed Master Social Worker. People who prefer English will find sessions offered in that language.

  2. How her approaches translate to online work

    Abigail uses Motivational Interviewing to help people explore their own reasons for change in a nonjudgmental way. This approach is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about taking next steps. She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thought and behavior and to try practical techniques that reduce worry or low mood.

    Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Abigail will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and will adapt methods over time. Together they check what is working and make small adjustments so therapy fits real life.

    Confirm the available session options before scheduling because specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make fitting sessions into a busy week easier, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits daily routines. It also lets people apply new coping strategies between sessions and review what helped during follow-ups with their therapist.
