Abisola Adepegba, LMHC, LCPC

Abisola Adepegba is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing relationship struggles, family conflict, grief and loss, and parenting challenges. She also supports those dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Her tone is respectful and compassionate, and she works to meet each person where they are.

With 12 years of experience, she adjusts conversations and plans to match what a client needs. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer communication. She listens for patterns that cause repeated problems and helps clients try different ways of responding.

Her background includes licensure in Maryland as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, and she also holds credentials as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. That experience informs how she notices relationship dynamics and stress reactions during sessions.

Clients can expect a collaborative approach that considers life context, goals, and day-to-day limits. She helps people make small changes that add up, whether working on parenting routines, managing mood swings, or coping with loss.

Abisola pays attention to identity-related concerns, including LGBT matters, and to situations involving trauma and abuse. She encourages clear communication, boundary-setting, and practical coping skills as steps toward better functioning.

If someone wants to explore therapy with her, the next step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on availability. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking so they know which formats are offered.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work

Abisola draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building practical skills. One common approach helps people recognize repeated relationship habits and then practice new ways of communicating. This method is useful for intimacy issues, commitment worries, and communication problems.

Another technique centers on mood and stress management by teaching concrete coping tools such as breathing, activity planning, and steps to break cycles of avoidance. These tools are helpful for anxiety, depression, bipolar mood challenges, and caregiver stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and everyday demands. That means trying a way of working, checking how it feels, and adjusting as needed.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats she currently offers before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a simpler option when video is difficult, while video lets you read facial cues and practice communication skills in real time. Ask about available formats so you can pick what fits your routine and goals.
