About Abisola
Abisola Adepegba is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, and life transitions. She focuses on practical steps parents can use to reduce stress, improve communication, and rebuild confidence. Her tone is direct and supportive for people who are feeling overwhelmed.
With 12 years of professional experience, Adepegba draws on methods that target coping skills and emotional regulation. She creates a simple plan with clear goals and small steps.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to focus on what feels most urgent to the client and on usable tools for day-to-day life. She tailors conversations to each person's needs and respects cultural differences and sexual orientation. That includes support around LGBT concerns, intimacy-related issues, and challenges tied to adoption, foster care, or blended family situations.
She also addresses anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, and trauma and abuse in practical ways. Parents can expect help with communication problems, setting boundaries, caregiver stress, and balancing career and family demands. She also works on matters such as self esteem, anger, body image, and eating-related struggles when these affect family life.
The aim is to build stronger routines and clearer expectations at home. Adepegba holds the credentials LMHC, MD, and LCPC and practices in Maryland. Her approach is collaborative: she listens first, then helps people pick realistic actions.
Sessions move at a pace that fits each person and focus on steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Abisola uses evidence-based techniques that focus on practical coping and improving relationships. One approach emphasizes skill-building for emotional regulation and stress management, teaching specific breathing, grounding, and planning strategies to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Another approach targets communication and problem-solving, helping people practice clearer requests, boundary setting, and conflict resolution skills that can change family routines and interactions.Choosing the right approach happens together. The therapist listens to your goals and current struggles, then suggests techniques that match those needs. Clients and therapist adjust methods over time based on what works and what feels manageable, so the process stays collaborative and goal-oriented.
Online work is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules. Video calls let people see visual cues during deeper conversations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat or messaging can support short check-ins, quick coaching, or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing parenting and life demands.
