We can all feel overwhelmed by persistent sadness, anxiety, or racing thoughts. Major life shifts—like a career change, relationship end, parenting, or new phase of life—can be difficult to navigate. You do not have to figure it out alone.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) dedicated to helping adults break free from painful emotional patterns and reclaim a sense of control. My practice specializes in treating mood disorders and guiding individuals through challenging life transitions.

Therapist

Virtual • California


I am a licensed therapist who specializes in anxiety depression and behavioral addictions such as gambling, gaming, shopping, and technology use. I became an LCSW because, quite simply, I love people and have the deepest respect for all living things. I have a masters in Social work and background in Psychology, Sociology and Education. I believe that every individual has innate strengths and my goal is to help you tap into yours. Whether you are in a difficult life transition, navigating healthy relationships, or looking to understand yourself more deeply, I am here to empower you so that you can move from feeling "stuck" to feeling capable.

Outside of the therapy room, I am a proud mom and dedicated reader. As someone who identifies as a lifelong learner, I will bring curiosity and warmth to every session. In addition to my private practice, I am a crisis clinician. This background has sharpened my ability to remain grounded, and provide a safe, stable space even when a situation may feel the most chaotic.

I've worked with individuals, couples, families, and teens facing some of life's hardest chapters, and I genuinely believe that the right support at the right time changes everything.

Hello! My name is Abby, and I specialize in working with mood disorders, including depression, anxiety, and bipolar.

With curiosity, humor, and warmth, I find joy in supporting clients as they process significant events, establish personal goals, explore meaning and identity, heal from trauma, and cultivate self-compassion. Through exploration of metaphor and symbolism, I join with clients in shedding light on themes and patterns as a means of increasing understanding and self-awareness.

In my clinical practice I utilize elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Depth Psychology, art therapy, trauma-informed methods, and psychodynamic modalities to provide a holistic, eclectic, and individualized approach.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right counselor for your family

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Modesto, CA

Searching for family therapists in Modesto starts with finding someone trained to support the relationships within a family system. Family therapy may help families work through parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, communication patterns, and stress across generations. As you compare Modesto therapists, look for a therapist whose profile lists family therapy experience, relevant approaches, and the concerns your family wants to address.

In a mid-sized city like Modesto, your options may include local office visits, virtual appointments, or a mix of both. Some family therapy sessions include the full family, while others may include parents, caregivers, siblings, or individual family members at different points. Before booking, review each therapist’s bio for session structure, appointment availability, and communication style. A free phone consultation can also help you ask how they typically guide family sessions.

Therapy in Modesto can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing support more affordable. Headway helps you find family therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, estimate your out-of-pocket cost before you book, and choose from therapists who are accepting new patients. You can compare profiles, review availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
