About Abigail
Abigail Bensko is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado. She brings three years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. Abigail aims to make the first step into therapy feel achievable and supportive.
Abigail creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about hard things. She encourages honest conversation about feelings and daily struggles. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at helping clients notice what changes might feel doable next.
Background and approach
She works with concerns such as trauma and abuse, depression, and adjusting to life changes. Relationship tensions and communication problems are also areas she addresses, as are issues related to substance use and first responder stress. Additional focuses include blended family dynamics, life purpose, and self-harm concerns.
Abigail uses a mix of approaches to fit each person. She draws on client-centered methods to follow the person’s lead and cognitive behavioral ideas to identify patterns of thought and behavior. She also integrates emotion-focused and trauma-informed tools when those fit the situation.
Sessions are offered through a variety of online formats so people can choose what works best for them. Abigail listens first, then co-creates goals and steps for progress. That collaborative style helps people feel involved in the plan rather than told what to do.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so people can make their own sense of thoughts and feelings, which helps when someone is unsure where to begin.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses clear steps to test and shift unhelpful thinking patterns, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name strong emotions and then work through how those feelings shape relationships and behavior. This approach can be helpful for relationship strain and communication problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. Then she will suggest methods and adjust as needed so sessions match the person’s pace and aims.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you see facial cues and share materials. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or ongoing reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting real life.
