About Abby
Abby Feinberg is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Pennsylvania with 12 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Abby also lists focused work around abandonment, attachment issues, body image, caregiving stress, codependency, communication problems, forgiveness, and guilt and shame.
Abby favors a practical, client-centered way of working. She mixes skills-based tools with longer discussions about personal history. Sessions involve concrete strategies and space to talk through what feels stuck. She looks for clients who are motivated and ready to try different approaches.
Her toolbox includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. That means she may teach skills for regulating strong feelings, help people reframe self-critical thoughts, and invite reflection on the stories people tell about themselves. She aims to match methods to each person's goals and readiness.
Abby describes her style as both encouraging and challenging. She offers direct feedback alongside validation and support. People who want to learn more about their patterns, test new behaviors, and stick with practice tend to be a good match.

How Abby’s approaches translate to online work
Abby frequently uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on hearing a person’s concerns and reflecting what matters most, helping people feel understood and clearer about their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies for changing distressing patterns and unhelpful thinking.She treats the choice of approach as a collaborative decision. Early sessions typically include a discussion about your goals, what has or has not worked before, and which methods feel acceptable. She will suggest approaches and adapt them with your feedback so the plan fits your needs and readiness.
If you plan to meet online, confirm the session formats available when you schedule. The biography does not list specific formats, so checking options will make sure you know whether sessions are video or another form. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time so therapy fits into everyday life more easily.
