About Abby
Abby Feinberg is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania with 12 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Abby works with people who want clear, practical steps to change how they think and act.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered conversation and skills-based methods. Sessions often include noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing new behaviors, and practicing skills between meetings. She favors an active style with feedback and gentle challenge when clients are ready for it.
Abby looks for people who are motivated, curious about barriers, and willing to try different strategies. She helps clients set concrete goals and tracks progress in regular ways. She also helps people reflect on patterns that come from their past and how those patterns show up now.
The work can involve learning emotional regulation skills, improving communication, and making small habit changes that add up over time. Abby integrates techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, and narrative approaches when they fit the goals. Practical exercises and short-term skills practice are common parts of treatment.
She encourages clients to expect some discomfort as part of change and to view setbacks as information rather than failure. People who prefer clear steps, measurable progress, and collaborative planning tend to find her approach useful. To begin, clients follow the site process to match and schedule a first session.
How CBT and skills work in online sessions
Abby commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try different responses. CBT sessions focus on practical steps - tracking thoughts, testing new behaviors, and using short exercises between meetings to build change.She also integrates Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and reflecting on what matters to the client, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Client-Centered work helps clarify goals and values, while DBT skills provide concrete tools for handling intense feelings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Abby will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice is reviewed as progress is tracked, and adjustments are made when an approach is not helping.
