About Abisola

Abisola Adepegba is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people navigate relationship and family problems, parenting challenges, grief, anxiety, and stress. She works with concerns like trauma, intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem, and mood disorders including depression and bipolar. Her tone is respectful and compassionate and she aims to create a clear plan that fits each person’s needs.

She has 12 years of professional experience and holds LMHC, MD, and LCPC credentials.

Background and approach

Abisola practices in Maryland and brings practical problem-solving to conversations. Sessions focus on realistic steps parents and adults can try between meetings. Her approach is collaborative.

She listens first, then tailors conversation and plans to the situation. That can mean coaching on communication, strategies for reducing stress, or working through grief in manageable pieces. Abisola also addresses related challenges such as adoption and foster care concerns, attachment and bonding issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, caregiver stress, and blended family dynamics.

She pays attention to patterns like avoidance, control, or dependency when those come up. Therapy may include short-term coaching-style work or longer-term support depending on needs. The focus is practical skills, clearer communication, and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

She encourages small, sustainable changes that build toward better family and relational functioning.

Therapeutic approaches and online options for family concerns

Abisola uses evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change and clearer relationships. One common approach involves communication coaching where the therapist models and rehearses better ways to talk about needs and conflicts; this helps couples and family members reduce repeated arguments and build clearer agreements. Another approach emphasizes skill-building for coping with stress and mood symptoms - learning small routines and tools that reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning.

Choosing the right approach happens together. The therapist starts by listening to the family or individual story, then recommends methods that match goals and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is working and what feels comfortable for the client.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These formats let people fit sessions around parenting and work schedules, follow up between meetings, and use the approach that feels most accessible. Licensed professionals can support homework, communication practice, and short coaching tasks across these formats to keep progress moving.
