About Abisola
Abisola Adepegba is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing relationship struggles, grief, parenting challenges, anxiety, stress, depression, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She also supports people coping with trauma, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and career-related stress. She practices in Maryland and brings 12 years of professional experience to her work.
Her sessions are grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She creates a space where people can talk about hard topics without feeling judged.
Background and approach
Conversations are shaped around each person’s real-life needs instead of one-size-fits-all plans. Abisola adapts her approach to the situation at hand. She works with clients to clarify goals, try practical steps, and track what helps.
That can include focusing on communication, setting boundaries, managing intense feelings, or handling life changes. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the work and tailors a plan that fits the individual. The therapist aims to make progress feel manageable by breaking larger problems into smaller, concrete steps.
Sessions can include coaching elements when helpful. Abisola explains options and supports clients through transitions such as divorce, blended family adjustments, adoption and foster care questions, or career shifts. Her style is steady and straightforward, aimed at helping people build skills they can use outside sessions.
Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care
Abisola uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skill building and emotional processing. One common approach she uses emphasizes practical coping skills - teaching tools for managing anxiety, intense emotion, and stress so people can handle difficult moments more effectively. Another approach centers on improving communication and relational skills to reduce conflict and increase intimacy in important relationships.Choosing the best approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try specific strategies, and adjust the plan based on what works. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay relevant to their needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video works well for deeper conversation and visual connection, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when a shorter touchpoint fits a busy day. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and other commitments.
