Abigail 'Abi' Kay

Abigail 'Abi' Kay is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes. She centers care on compassion and respect while attending to each person's story and needs.

Her approach blends evidence-based therapeutic techniques with a Christian-informed perspective that honors spiritual beliefs. Abi focuses on practical skills people can use between sessions, like stress management and better day-to-day communication. She also works with those coping with serious health journeys, including cancer and hospice and end-of-life counseling, and supports caregivers who are under chronic strain.

Abi draws on eight years of clinical experience in Utah to guide sessions toward clear, achievable goals. She helps people identify patterns that contribute to mood or relationship struggles and practices hands-on ways to change them. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the person's readiness.

People often bring issues such as codependency, commitment doubts, infidelity, family conflict, or isolation to Abi's work. She also supports coping with guilt, shame, and forgiveness as part of healing after loss or separation.

In meetings she aims to make things feel manageable. Conversations focus on what to try next, how to handle difficult moments, and how to build supports that fit everyday life.

How evidence-based approaches shape online care

Abi uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical problem solving and coping. One common approach helps people learn specific skills for managing anxiety and low mood, such as breaking problems into smaller steps and practicing simple behavior changes to improve daily functioning. Another helpful method emphasizes improving communication and relationship patterns, which supports clearer boundaries and healthier interactions when stress or conflict arises.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Abi collaborates with each person to identify goals and then tests methods that match those goals and personal preferences. That means she and the client check in often and adjust the plan as needed rather than sticking to one fixed method.

If you prefer online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can fit into busy lives by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or making it easier to include a caregiver in scheduling conversations. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and communication practice to the online setting so people still get hands-on tools they can use between sessions.
