About Abisola

Abisola Adepegba is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and life transitions. She brings calm and practical support to people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, and trauma or abuse. Her approach aims to make hard moments easier to talk about and to find usable next steps.

She works with people on issues like intimacy and communication problems, family conflict, and caregiving stress. She also supports those navigating adoption and foster care questions, attachment concerns, and identity matters related to LGBT experiences. Abandonment, control and commitment worries are also areas she addresses.

With twelve years of experience, Abisola adapts conversations and plans to each person. She practices with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer communication, and manageable goals that fit daily life.

Abisola holds licensure as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. She is based in Maryland and draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to shape care. She speaks English and does not work with international clients.

To begin, she asks people to describe their current struggles and goals. From that starting point, she and the person set a plan together and check progress along the way.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Evidence-based techniques are used to guide the work in simple, practical ways. One common approach focuses on building coping skills and behavioral strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood swings, and handle stress. This helps people learn clear steps to use when emotions become overwhelming.

Another approach centers on improving communication and attachment patterns. It looks at how people relate to others, helps identify unhelpful habits, and practices new ways of connecting that reduce conflict and increase understanding.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, try methods that match your needs, and adjust the plan as you make progress. Together you decide which techniques feel most useful and practical for daily life.

Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, and travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn't possible, and alternatives when video is not convenient or bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can help you pick a schedule and format that work with your routine.
