Abigail Houseknecht, LICSW, LCSW

Abigail Houseknecht is a licensed clinical social worker with LICSW and LCSW credentials and ten years of professional experience working with children, teens, and families. She brings focused experience supporting people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, LGBT-related issues, self-esteem and motivation, and intimacy-related challenges. Her additional areas of focus include ADHD, autism and Asperger syndrome, pregnancy and childbirth, women's issues, social anxiety, young adult concerns, and compassion fatigue.

Abigail integrates cognitive behavioral techniques with relational approaches to help clients explore thoughts, emotions, and patterns that affect daily life and relationships. She favors a client-led style, partnering with each person to identify priorities and practical steps that feel meaningful and achievable. Her aim is to create an open, nonjudgmental space where children, teens, adults, and families can share what matters to them and work toward clearer direction.

Abigail describes the first step toward a more fulfilling life as an act of courage, and she positions herself as a supportive collaborator through that process. She offers evening availability during the week to make scheduling more accessible for clients balancing work, school, or family demands. The LICSW and LCSW credentials indicate clinical social work licensure appropriate for providing therapeutic services in clinical settings.
