Abigail 'Abi' KayLCSW

Abigail 'Abi' Kay is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Utah who offers compassionate care for people facing depression, anxiety, and relationship challenges. She brings eight years of clinical experience to conversations about stress, grief, and major life changes. Abi integrates clients' spiritual beliefs into sessions when desired and works to make therapy practical and relatable.

Clients typically find she focuses on everyday steps that reduce overwhelm. Sessions center on recognizing feelings, improving communication, and building coping routines that fit into real life. Abi also helps people navigating health issues, caregiving strain, and the emotional fallout from separation or infidelity.

Her work includes support for those dealing with grief, hospice and end-of-life questions, and mood concerns after medical events such as a cancer diagnosis. She pays attention to guilt, shame, and isolation, aiming to help people reconnect with their values and relationships. Abi uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside faith-informed conversation when that is important to the client.

In sessions she focuses on practical tools - breathing and grounding, clear communication exercises, and planning small behavior changes that add up. She encourages gradual progress and checks in often to make sure strategies feel useful. Abi aims to help people build resilience for the next steps in life.

People who choose her often want a therapist who respects their spiritual perspective while using established clinical methods. Her style is straightforward and supportive, with an emphasis on clear goals and everyday problem-solving.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Abi integrates evidence-based therapeutic techniques with conversations about personal faith when clients want that. One common approach she uses focuses on skill-building for anxiety and depression - learning concrete coping skills, tracking mood, and practicing small behavior changes that reduce symptoms over time. Another approach centers on communication and relationship work, using role-play and clear feedback to help people express needs and repair connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Abi treats the choice of methods as collaborative and will adapt techniques to fit a person's goals, values, and day-to-day demands. She checks in regularly to see if an approach is helping and shifts plans when needed.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, save travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also help people continue work during medical journeys or caregiving periods when leaving home is difficult. Licensed professionals can tailor session pacing and tools to what you need, whether you prefer focused skills work or time to process life transitions.
