About Abisola

Abisola Adepegba is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with twelve years of experience. She is licensed in Maryland and helps people with relationship problems, family conflict, grief and loss, parenting concerns, and anxiety. Her work also covers stress, depression, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and issues related to identity and intimacy.

She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations focus on current problems and on small, manageable steps clients can try between meetings. She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and works with clients to test different ways of responding in real life.

Her background includes a range of clinical settings across multiple states, and she draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. That means using methods that have been studied and shown to help with mood, anxiety, and relationship difficulties. She adapts those approaches to the person's daily life and goals.

When people come for help with parenting or family tensions, she looks at communication patterns and practical strategies to reduce conflict. For grief and loss the focus is on acknowledging what was lost and finding ways to carry important memories forward while managing day-to-day functioning.

She aims to make planning clear: short-term goals, concrete steps, and a shared way to check progress. Sessions cover the work itself and what to try between meetings so change feels gradual and manageable.

How therapy approaches are used online

Abisola uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on real-life change. One approach involves structured problem-solving and behavioral experiments to test new ways of responding to anxiety and relationship triggers. This method helps people notice patterns and try small changes in everyday situations.

Another approach emphasizes skills training for managing intense emotions and improving communication. That can include short exercises to practice calmer responses, clearer requests, and safer boundaries during interactions that tend to go off track.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which techniques match their needs, goals, and comfort with different methods. That plan can change as progress is tracked and new challenges appear.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around a busy life and keeping regular contact without long travel. Confirm the available session formats before booking, since current session options are shown during sign-up. Online work can make it easier to schedule brief check-ins, longer weekly sessions, or follow-up meetings aimed at reviewing homework and adjusting goals.
