About Adisatu

Adisatu (Addie) Adeyemi helps people facing stress, anxiety, family tension, grief, and low self-esteem. She also supports clients dealing with depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, anger, career decisions, bipolar disorder, and life transitions. Addie is a licensed clinical professional counselor in Maryland and holds an MD.

She has eight years of professional experience and uses those years to guide practical steps during sessions. Her style is straightforward and respectful.

Background and approach

She centers the person's own goals and strengths while offering tools that make daily life easier. Sessions focus on clear strategies and open listening rather than jargon. Parents will find a calm, steady presence and help sorting the real priorities at home.

Addie draws on client-centered therapy to follow a person’s pace and priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, offering concrete exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Together these approaches combine practical skill-building with a focus on what matters most to the client.

Therapy can begin with small steps such as identifying a single problem to work on and practicing new habits between visits. Addie encourages gentle progress and adjusts methods to fit each person’s needs. The goal is clearer thinking, calmer reactions, and better day-to-day functioning.

Sessions are offered in English and conducted within Maryland. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

Approaches for online sessions and practical support

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and strengths. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, follows the pace set by the client, and helps clarify what matters most. It is useful for people who need a supportive space to make sense of their situation.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, offers clear tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Sessions typically include specific exercises and homework that target anxiety, low mood, anger, and patterns that interfere with daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to pick or blend methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That process can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.

Online therapy here is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy family schedule or to reach a therapist from within Maryland. Many clients find the variety of formats helps them keep steady momentum between appointments and practice new skills in real time.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
