About Abigail
Abigail 'Abi' Kay is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Utah with eight years of experience. She focuses on anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, grief, and life changes, including care and health-related transitions.
Abi blends evidence-based therapeutic techniques with a Christian-informed perspective that respects a client's spiritual beliefs. She helps people name what feels overwhelming and breaks problems into manageable steps. Sessions often involve practical coping strategies, communication skills, and ways to respond differently to worry and low mood.
She works with people facing difficult health journeys, caregiver stress, and end-of-life concerns, as well as those dealing with codependency, commitment worries, and family conflict. Abi also addresses social anxiety and isolation, offering ways to practice social skills and reduce avoidance in everyday situations.
Her approach is straightforward and goal-focused. Abi uses tools to build resilience and improve day-to-day functioning, such as techniques for stress reduction and clearer communication. She supports people through decisions like separation or divorce and helps process grief, guilt, and forgiveness.
Clients can expect sessions that are conversational and practical. Abi encourages setting small objectives and tracking progress across sessions. To begin, people select an online therapy option, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How evidence-based approaches work in online sessions
Abi uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside a Christian-informed perspective. One common approach she relies on focuses on teaching practical coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as short behavioral experiments and stepwise exposure to feared situations to reduce avoidance. Another approach centers on communication skills and problem solving to address relationship strains, helping people practice clearer requests and boundaries in everyday interactions.Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. Abi will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals, symptoms, and values. This helps shape session goals and exercises that fit the person's life and priorities rather than applying one fixed method.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific online formats. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. It also lets people continue care during health or life transitions while keeping focus on practical skills and pacing that feel manageable.
