About Abbe
Abbe Goodman is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 40 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, eating issues, low self-esteem, and depression. Abbe welcomes clients across the lifespan and emphasizes that adolescents can speak openly about their feelings and situations with her.
She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and emotions can be shared. Sessions focus on practical conversation and pacing that fits each person. Abbe encourages small, doable steps toward clearer thinking and better daily routines.
Over four decades she has worked with a wide range of concerns including abandonment, attachment issues, body image, codependency, caregiver strain, chronic illness and pain, and dissociation. That breadth means she often draws on approaches that suit each person’s needs rather than using a single method.
Abbe describes therapy as a cooperative process. She listens first, helps clarify what matters most, and then supports clients in trying out new ways of coping. The work can include skills practice, gentle problem solving, and talking through relationship patterns.
She stresses that taking the first step requires courage and that she is there to support people through the change process. Prospective clients are invited to begin by using the site’s Start Therapy flow to match and schedule an initial meeting.
