Abigail Thurlow, LPC

Abigail Thurlow is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Connecticut with 13 years of clinical experience. She combines work in Medication Assisted Treatment for substance use and addiction with a private practice that addresses a range of concerns including depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Abigail brings specialized knowledge in elderly and aging issues as well as cancer-related challenges, and she pairs that expertise with experience supporting people through addictions and major life transitions.

Her background includes seven years working in group homes with young men and women who presented with advanced mental health and behavioral needs, and experience collaborating with the Department of Corrections to support clients in half way housing and on parole or probation. This range of settings informs a practical, grounded approach to care that honors each person’s circumstances and goals.

Abigail emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as central to progress. Her style is warm and understanding while also direct when clarity and structure are needed. She draws from multiple modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), solution-focused techniques, mindfulness, person-centered therapy, and motivational interviewing to tailor treatment plans to individual needs.

She provides a nonjudgmental, open-minded space where clients can explore mental health concerns, relationship and family issues, grief, or simply find someone to talk with about stress and life changes. Abigail aims to support clients toward greater well-being by listening carefully, offering practical skills, and partnering on achievable goals.
