01About Abigail

Abigail Bensko is a licensed professional counselor with three years of clinical experience in Colorado. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and major life changes. Abigail aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space so people can talk honestly about what’s going on for them.

She uses straightforward, practical methods and listens carefully to each person’s story. Sessions tend to be conversational and goal-oriented, with attention to what the client needs now.

Background and approach

Abigail helps people sort through strong feelings and find steps that feel doable between sessions. Abigail draws on several therapeutic approaches to match the right methods to each person. She may use cognitive-behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns.

She also uses client-centered principles that prioritize the client’s perspective and pace. For people recovering from traumatic experiences, Abigail can include approaches designed to reduce the intensity of painful memories. Motivational interviewing is available for those working through substance use or wanting clearer direction toward life goals.

The focus is always on what will help the individual move forward. Her practice supports people who are struggling with relationship stress, blended family issues, communication breakdowns, first responder stress, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder concerns, and self-harm thoughts. Abigail speaks English and works with people in Colorado.

04Online support

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and feelings. It involves listening closely and letting the person guide the pace of work, which can help when someone is unsure where to begin.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking patterns and to try different behaviors that reduce anxiety or low mood.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy is aimed at improving emotional connections and understanding intense feelings in relationships. It helps people name and work through emotions that get in the way of feeling understood or close to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful and manageable for the client. This is a collaborative process with regular check-ins about progress.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction when they want it. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is an issue or when someone prefers not to use video. Chat or text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when someone needs a shorter way to communicate.
