Abigail Citty, LCSW, Therapist in Greensboro, North Carolina

My clinical interests include trauma recovery, anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, anger management, self-worth and self-esteem issues, grief and loss, life transitions, and complex mental health challenges. I am particularly passionate about working with individuals whose experiences are shaped by socioeconomic factors, systemic barriers, and other multifaceted life circumstances. I recognize the impact that culture, identity, environment, and lived experiences have on mental health and tailor treatment to each client’s unique strengths and needs.

As a first-generation college graduate, I especially enjoy supporting first-generation college students as they navigate academic pressures, family expectations, identity development, and the challenges that can accompany being the first in their family to pursue higher education. I am also committed to providing affirming and inclusive care for members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

My therapeutic approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and evidence-based. While I specialize in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for trauma, I integrate a variety of modalities to meet the unique needs of each client. My clinical work draws from Motivational Interviewing, Family Systems Theory, Psychodynamic Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Behavioral Modification techniques, Mindfulness-Based interventions, Psychoeducation, and Grief Counseling. I believe therapy should be tailored to the individual, empowering clients to gain insight, build effective coping strategies, strengthen relationships, and create sustainable change.

I believe therapy is not about fixing people but about helping them recognize their strengths, develop self-compassion, and move toward lives that align with their values and goals. My aim is to provide a therapeutic space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered throughout their healing journey.
