Abbey Tulgestke , LPC

Abbey Tulgestke is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with five years of clinical experience. He supports people managing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, low self-esteem, and difficulties with focus such as ADHD. His work also addresses related concerns including motivation, confidence, concentration, and memory.

He views each person as the expert of their own story and emphasizes the strengths clients already possess as tools for growth and healing. Abbey encourages those taking the first step toward therapy, acknowledging that beginning treatment takes courage and commending clients for making that choice.

In sessions he aims to build on existing resilience while offering practical strategies and compassionate guidance to help clients navigate challenges and pursue meaningful change. His approach centers on collaboration and respect for each individualâs goals and experiences, with the intention of supporting lasting progress over time.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Abbey uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and personal growth. One approach emphasizes skills-based strategies that help people identify unhelpful patterns in thinking and behavior and develop concrete tools to manage symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and difficulties with focus. This approach is useful for everyday stress, mood concerns, and concentration challenges.

Another strand of his work applies trauma-informed methods that help individuals process and make sense of traumatic experiences while building safety and coping capacity. These methods can support recovery from abuse, post-traumatic stress, and intense emotional reactions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Abbey works together with each person to determine which techniques best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy with Abbey is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility to choose the format that fits oneâs schedule and comfort level. This range of options allows individuals to access therapy from their own environment and maintain continuity of care even with busy or changing routines.
