Abby Rabi

I bring a warm, compassionate, and relatable presence into therapy. Together, we create a space where clients feel understood and able to move at their own pace while still progressing in an intentional way. My style is grounded, human, and relational, helping clients feel less alone in what they are experiencing. I value real connection and often take time to check in so clients can feel comfortable showing up as themselves throughout the process.

My work focuses on helping clients better understand their emotions, what they are feeling, why those emotions show up, and how they impact thoughts, behaviors, and relationships. Rather than only managing symptoms, we work together to explore and shift deeper patterns while building self-worth, emotional regulation, and more secure connections. Together, we identify unhealthy relational dynamics and develop healthier ways of engaging in relationships.

I work with anxiety, depression, PTSD and complex PTSD, OCD, childhood trauma and trauma related to self-worth, life transitions, grief and loss, relationship challenges for individuals and couples, parenting concerns, and neurodivergence, including ADHD and autism. I also work with bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and earned my Master’s degree from the University of Maryland. I offer both individual and couples therapy virtually in the state of Maryland.

I offer guidance, insight, and practical tools that clients can use between sessions to support meaningful change in their everyday lives. For those who have tried therapy before and are looking for a more active and engaging approach, therapy focuses not only on insight and understanding, but also on practical steps that help clients feel more grounded, connected, and able to move forward.

My approach is informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS), psychodynamic therapy, and mindfulness. Therapy often includes recognizing patterns, building self-trust, and creating meaningful, lasting change.

Our first session is a space to get to know your goals in coming to therapy and to help uncover what your mindset and strengths are in this therapeutic space. We discuss a little bit about childhood and background while trying to stay away from topics that can be triggering and focus more on validating the challenges and a goal oriented focus.
