About Abisola
Abisola Adepegba is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage anxiety, stress, relationship strains, grief, and parenting challenges. She uses a direct but compassionate style to make hard conversations easier. She aims to create a steady space where people can talk, be heard, and begin practical change.
With 12 years of clinical experience, she draws on work across several states, including Maryland. She focuses on everyday problems like coping with life changes, improving communication, and rebuilding self-esteem.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with trauma, depression, bipolar concerns, and issues tied to identity and intimacy. Sessions are tailored to each person. She listens first, then co-creates simple, realistic goals.
Common steps include identifying patterns that cause distress, practicing small behavioral changes, and trying new ways to handle strong emotions. Therapy is paced to what the person can manage. Her approach also addresses practical areas such as career stress, caregiver strain, and decision points like separation or divorce.
She works with people facing adoption and foster care questions, attachment concerns, or body image struggles. Abisola pays attention to both feelings and daily routines so progress can carry into real life. She uses plain language and respects each person’s story.
The first sessions usually focus on what matters most now, so the work that follows is focused and relevant to daily life.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Abisola draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, then replace them with small, manageable actions to reduce anxiety and improve mood. This method is useful for stress, worry, and low mood.She also uses interpersonal and relationship-focused strategies that look at how communication and expectations affect connections. These techniques help people repair trust, set clearer boundaries, and handle intimacy or family conflicts more effectively.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Abisola begins by listening to your goals and preferences, then suggests methods that fit your situation. Together you can try different techniques and adjust the plan based on what feels helpful and doable.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow more face-to-face interaction for skill practice and conversation. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, short coaching, or when someone prefers writing over speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between sessions.
