About Meg
Dr. Meg DePasquale is a licensed clinician in Maryland with more than two decades of experience. She holds an MD and is an LCSW-C, and she focuses on helping people facing addictions, family stress, trauma, and mood concerns.
Her approach is direct and practical, aimed at parents and caregivers thinking about family and parenting issues. She creates a calm space where people can speak honestly about hard things. Sessions are meant to be straightforward.
Background and approach
She listens, asks clear questions, and helps clients name what matters most to them. Her work covers a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, bipolar mood patterns, grief, anger, and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with substance use, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and parenting challenges.
Her practice addresses related areas such as body image, caregiver stress, postpartum depression, and trauma-related concerns. Dr. DePasquale draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to tailor a plan to each person.
She balances practical strategies with emotional support so clients can try new ways of handling problems between sessions. Progress is measured in small, realistic steps rather than dramatic overnight change. If someone is unsure where to begin she helps figure out priorities and next steps.
Her style is collaborative but steady - she meets people where they are and works alongside them toward clearer goals.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit busy families
Dr. DePasquale commonly uses evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One approach emphasizes structured skills training to help manage anxiety, mood swings, and stress; clients practice specific tools to reduce symptoms and improve daily routines. Another approach centers on trauma-informed strategies that help people process painful experiences safely and reduce their impact on family life and relationships.Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. She works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. Together they may try one approach and adjust it over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to add flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, and caregiving responsibilities. They also allow regular check-ins and practical coaching between appointments so progress can continue even when life is busy.
