In Person & Virtual Therapy for Teens & Young Women in Jupiter, FL
Premarital counseling is also available for engaged couples preparing for marriage.
I specialize in working with teens and young adults experiencing anxiety, especially when it shows up in relationships, friendships, and day-to-day life. Many of my clients struggle with overthinking, people-pleasing, fear of rejection, or feeling stuck in patterns that impact their confidence and connections.
For teens, this may look like navigating friendships, social stress, and identity development. For young adult women, it often shows up in dating, relationship patterns, and difficulty trusting themselves. Therapy focuses on building self-awareness, strengthening boundaries, and creating more secure, grounded ways of relating to both yourself and others.
In addition to working with teens and young adults, I also support parents. My work with families focuses on helping parents better understand patterns, strengthen boundaries, respond more intentionally, and support their child’s emotions without over-functioning or removing every discomfort.
I also offer premarital counseling for engaged couples who want to prepare thoughtfully for marriage. Using the PREPARE/ENRICH assessment, sessions are shaped around each couple’s strengths and priorities, including communication, expectations, finances, family backgrounds, intimacy, shared values, and future goals.
I’m Abigail Anderson, a Registered Mental Health Counseling Intern (RMHCI) based in Jupiter, Florida. I provide therapy for teens, college-aged students, and young adult women across Florida.
Specialties
Relationships & boundaries
You care deeply about others, but often find yourself feeling anxious about how you’re perceived or whether you’ve done something wrong. You might say “yes” when you mean “no,” avoid conflict, or take on responsibility for other people’s emotions, leaving you feeling drained or disconnected from yourself. Over time, this can turn into a pattern of losing yourself in relationships or second-guessing your needs. Even when you know something isn’t working, it can feel hard to change.
Life transitions & self-discovery
Transitions like graduating, starting a new job, moving, or ending a relationship can all bring anxiety and uncertainty about who you are and what’s next. You may feel pressured to have it all figured out, and be feeling unsure or disconnected from yourself.
I help women navigate these seasons of change by reconnecting with their values, sense of direction, and inner voice. Together, we will build the clarity and confidence needed to move forward with intention.
EMDR THERAPY
EMDR therapy can help you reprocess trauma, relationship wounds, emotional patterns, and core beliefs that keep you feeling stuck. It can be especially helpful when you understand something logically, but your body and emotions still react as if the past is happening now.
Through EMDR, we can work toward reducing emotional intensity, building self-trust, and helping your nervous system feel more grounded in the present.
Anxiety & Overthinking
You might look calm and capable on the outside, but constantly overthink and question yourself on the inside. You might replay conversations, wonder if people are upset with you, or feel like you can never fully relax. This pattern of overthinking and self-criticism can often stem from anxiety mixed with perfectionism and people-pleasing.
In our work together, we will explore what drives these thought loops and learn how to separate who you are from what your anxiety says about you. You’ll build tools to manage your mind, soften your inner critic, and show up more authentically.
PRE-MARITAL COUNSELING
Premarital counseling is a chance to build on what already works well in your relationship and better understand the areas where you can continue growing together. Using the PREPARE/ENRICH assessment, we’ll talk through communication, finances, intimacy, family, shared values, faith, and expectations for married life. This service is best suited for couples who feel secure in their relationship and want to prepare intentionally for marriage.
How I Can Help:
My Approach
My work integrates ACT, EMDR, Attachment Theory, and mindfulness-based approaches.
ACT, or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, helps you notice unhelpful thoughts, make space for uncomfortable emotions, and take action based on your values instead of anxiety or fear.
EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing, helps support the reprocessing of trauma, relationship wounds, emotional patterns, and core beliefs that may still feel activating in the present.
An attachment lens helps us understand how early relationships and past experiences shape the way you seek closeness, handle conflict, set boundaries, and respond to disconnection.
Mindfulness-based work helps you slow down, be present, notice what is happening internally, and create more space between your emotions, thoughts, and reactions.
Client Testimonials
Our daughter went to Abigail during a difficult transition at school, and Abigail was so patient and able to get our daughter to open up and really make so much progress during the school year. We are so grateful for her time; she was effective and caring, and so personable.
– Parent of a past client
I met Abigail shortly after I turned 25. I was overwhelmed, anxious, and felt like I had to carry the world on my shoulders. Abigail was just the right therapist to help me on my journey. She is informed and relatable. Kind, loves her job and is a joy to talk to. Transitioning into young adult life I was carrying a lot of the trauma from the past and she really helped me work through it and give me the tools to not just survive, but thrive.
– Client
I’ve been seeing Abigail for around 4 months now. Upon our first session, I immediately felt comfortable opening up to her. She is very kind and understanding, as all therapists should be. She’s wonderful, and I can confidently say that since I started seeing her, my anxiety, which I initially came to her for, has lessened and become much more manageable.
