About Abigail
Abigail Buteau is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who practices in Florida. She uses a straightforward, partnership-based style to help people tackle the problems they bring to therapy. Her work focuses on practical steps and listening first, so people feel heard and involved in each session.
Abigail has five years of post-licensure experience helping people manage trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, and mood concerns such as bipolar disorder. She also helps with parenting challenges, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, career stress, and major life changes.
Background and approach
Her background includes working with people affected by adoption, foster care, abandonment, and attachment concerns. In sessions she blends client-centered conversation with solution-focused steps. She asks what matters most to the person and then breaks goals into small, doable actions.
When trauma is present she uses trauma-focused approaches alongside practical coping skills. Cognitive behavioral ideas are used to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. People who prefer a calm, goal-oriented style often find this approach useful.
Abigail pays attention to communication patterns, codependency, and caregiver strain, and she helps map clear next steps. She also supports those navigating fertility, end-of-life decisions, immigration-related stress, and forgiveness work. Sessions are offered through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Abigail works with each person to set achievable goals and to adjust pace as needed.

Approaches for online care and practical change
Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person and their priorities. In this approach the therapist listens closely, follows the person’s lead, and helps clarify what matters most so sessions focus on real concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people test unhelpful beliefs and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, or mood symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose or combine methods based on goals, comfort, and what has or hasn’t helped before. That way the plan can change over time if different tools are needed.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a deeper exchange is helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a lunch break. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, writing out feelings, or keeping momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and adapt therapy to a person’s routine.
