About Meg
Dr. Meg DePasquale is a Maryland clinician with more than two decades of experience. She holds an MD and is an LCSW-C, and she focuses on helping people who struggle with anxiety, addictions, depression, and relationship stress.

Background and approach
Sessions are a place to talk through worries, clarify goals, and try out new ways of coping that fit everyday life. Dr. DePasquale has worked across many areas related to mood and behavior, including trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and grief.
She also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, parenting strain, and body image concerns. Her background gives her experience in both long-term concerns and more immediate crises of coping. In sessions she focuses on clear communication and steady problem solving.
She helps clients identify patterns that keep anxiety and stress active and practices skills to reduce their impact. People can expect direct feedback, supportive conversation, and practical tools to use between meetings. Her practice includes a mix of conversation and skill-building.
She encourages questions about how therapy will work and adapts plans based on each person's needs. Scheduling is done to match the rhythm of a person's life and goals.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Dr. DePasquale uses evidence-based techniques that focus on understanding thoughts and changing unhelpful patterns. One common approach is cognitive strategies that help people spot anxious or negative thinking, test those thoughts, and replace them with more balanced alternatives; this helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Another approach involves skill-building for emotional regulation and coping - practicing breathing, grounding, and step-by-step behavior changes to reduce reactivity and improve daily functioning.Choosing the right method is part of the work together. The therapist collaborates with each person to figure out which approaches match their needs, goals, and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is helpful in sessions and between meetings.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs and schedules. Video lets people see nonverbal cues and mirror an in-person visit. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging offer flexible ways to check in between meetings or get support without scheduling a full session. These options aim to make therapy more practical for busy lives.
