Abigail Baglione

Abigail Baglione is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in New York with 13 years of clinical experience. She holds clinical social work licensure in New York (license number 091666) and earned a Master of Social Work from New York University School of Social Work, reflecting advanced training in assessment and psychotherapy.

Her approach is eclectic, guided by a strong emphasis on early attachments and shaped by Object Relations theory. In this framework, early caregiving relationships - the primary ‘‘objects’’ in a person’s life - are seen as central to the development of self-esteem and to the ways people relate to others and themselves. Abigail observes these attachment patterns across clients of all ages and believes that, while these early influences are powerful, change is both possible and often necessary.

Abigail has substantial experience working with people who struggle to regulate emotions in relationships, including those diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder or who show similar interpersonal patterns. She approaches these clients without unnecessary judgment and applies strategies suited to difficulties in emotional regulation. Her background also includes work with substance abuse and addiction, and she currently provides psychotherapeutic counseling to adults with traumatic brain injury, recognizing parallels in emotional regulation challenges and the potential value of an intensive Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) approach where appropriate.

In addition to clinical work, Abigail is a 500-hour certified yoga teacher and brings an interest in yogic values into therapy when relevant. She is experienced in promoting body awareness and guiding meditations, and will incorporate these practices if a client expresses interest. Abigail aims to make scheduling accessible and is open to adjusting appointment times when possible; prospective clients are invited to request a more fitting time if initial availability does not align.
