Abigail Cardello

Hi, I'm Abi! I'm an LMSW with a Master of Social Work from Tulane University. I provide telehealth therapy to adults in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. My first position as an Advanced Clinical Fellow with Manhattan Wellness was an incredible opportunity to build my therapy toolbox and support my clients as they navigated both challenges and successes. What I found most meaningful was the opportunity, as their provider, to support them in building their own therapy toolboxes and navigating life's more challenging moments, while also being their biggest cheerleader.

I specialize in working with individuals experiencing differing severity levels of anxiety and depression, as well as those who are managing ADHD symptoms. I also have extensive experience working with women's health issues, OCD, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, addiction within their family systems, grief, and major life transitions. From my time at Manhattan Wellness, I have significant experience working with individuals managing major health struggles and chronic illness. This includes PCOS, obesity, chronic fatigue, and more.

Often, these diagnoses or challenges can bring frustration, overwhelm, or a sense of not knowing where to start or how to move forward. My goal for therapy is to help you understand and process challenges, while also finding ways to help you thrive.

My approach is warm, collaborative, flexible, and humanistic. It's important to me that therapy feels accessible and grounded, and that you feel comfortable being exactly who you are in this space. No matter what we are tackling, we will work as a team as you explore and grow within the therapy room. My goal is to be a helpful and empowering presence as you embark on your therapy journey. I show up as myself so that you feel comfortable doing so, as well. I truly believe that your voice is important and empowering, so we will work together to tailor a treatment plan specifically for you while making adjustments as needed along the way. Overall, my goal is to ensure you feel as though our sessions are a true safe space so we can begin this therapy journey together.

Outside of work, the end of the day is usually filled with good food, crafting, and catching up on my favorite cheesy TV shows. You'll often find me trying a vegetarian recipe from a new cookbook (I tend to buy too many of those) or trying whatever new craft caught my attention at Michaels recently. I enjoy spending time with my loved ones or finding joy at a new Broadway show or movie. I also love to do yoga, get some sun in Central Park, and catch up on reading a new book when I can.
