Therapy with Abigail Gianniny, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, PLLC
I am a New York State Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over a decade of experience supporting individuals and families through pregnancy, postpartum, and the early parenting years. I’m also certified in perinatal mental health and draw from a range of evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, ACT, person-centered therapy, and mindfulness-based practices. I currently keep a small private practice, and would be happy to connect if you feel you may need therapy.
My therapy practice, Abigail Gianniny, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, PLLC, is separate from my coaching and consulting business, My Motherhood Mindset, because therapy and coaching are distinctly different services.
Therapy is appropriate for individuals navigating clinically significant concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, or emotional dysregulation. It often involves a deeper exploration of your history, relationships, patterns, and the ways past experiences may be impacting your present. Therapy may also include formal assessment and diagnosis, and is rooted in evidence-based, research-supported treatment methods. It is typically longer-term and designed to promote healing, emotional insight, and meaningful internal change.
Coaching, on the other hand, is not clinical or diagnostic in nature. It is best suited for individuals who are not in crisis or experiencing severe mental health symptoms but are looking for structured support to reduce stress, build resilience, and cultivate more presence and purpose in their daily lives.
If you’re unsure whether therapy or coaching is the right fit, I’m happy to help you explore that decision with care and transparency. No pressure—just support.
