About Abisola
Abisola Adepegba is an LMHC and an LCPC with 12 years of clinical experience. She practices from Maryland and focuses on relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, grief and loss, and the everyday stresses that pile up at home. She also works with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and identity questions including LGBT issues.
She keeps conversations straightforward and goal oriented. Sessions look at what is happening in relationships and at home, and at practical steps a person can try between meetings. The tone is direct and respectful, with attention to patterns that get in the way of connection or wellbeing.
Her background includes long-term work with people facing caregiving strain, blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and attachment-related struggles. She also has experience with anger, intimacy challenges, body image, and eating-related issues. That breadth makes it possible to address how one problem at home often ties into another.
When parents or adult children come in with conflict or stress, she focuses on clear communication and small changes that can reduce tension. For people coping with grief or big life changes, she helps name what’s most overwhelming and creates stepwise ways to manage it.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions and adapts approaches to match each person’s goals. To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to see how the work can proceed.
How sessions work
How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions
Two evidence-based approaches she uses are straightforward problem-solving and skills-focused work. Problem-solving breaks down a domestic issue into concrete steps and helps people try specific changes at home, which is useful for parenting concerns and daily stress. Skills-focused work teaches communication and emotion-regulation skills, giving short practices to use during tense moments.She also draws on supportive talk that clarifies what matters most to the person and reduces shame around difficult feelings like grief, abandonment, or anger. That approach helps when someone needs a practical plan plus room to name painful experiences without being rushed.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process and happens together. The therapist and client review goals, try methods for a few sessions, and adjust based on what helps. This collaborative way makes it easier to focus on what will change daily life at home.
Confirm the session formats before booking, as the profile does not list them. Online work can make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule - for example a shorter check-in on a break, or avoiding travel time so sessions are easier to keep. It can also let people try tools between sessions and report back on what did or did not work.
