About Abisola

Abisola Adepegba is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people navigate relationship conflicts, grief and loss, parenting challenges, anxiety, and stress. She focuses on men's wellbeing among other concerns and aims to create a respectful, compassionate space for people who are ready to make changes. Abisola's work also covers mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms, as well as ADHD and trauma-related issues.

She adapts conversations and plans to each person's situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Sessions typically focus on practical steps people can try between meetings, and on clearer communication when relationships are strained. Abisola also supports career-related stress, body image concerns, and intimacy or sexual issues when they are part of a client's story.

With 12 years of professional experience, Abisola holds LMHC and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor credentials and practices from Maryland. Her background includes work with people dealing with family transitions, adoption and foster care questions, attachment issues, and blended family dynamics. She brings steady, straightforward guidance to those facing separation or divorce and to caregivers experiencing burnout.

People who want help managing anger, coping with abandonment wounds, or improving commitment and trust often find her approach practical and goal-oriented. She incorporates coaching-style support when clients are working toward career or life changes. Abisola emphasizes collaboration and clear next steps in every session.

To begin, she asks clients to describe the specific problems they want to address so treatment can be tailored. Her style is direct but warm, focusing on skills, healing from past hurts, and small changes that add up over time.

Approaches that guide online care and skill building

Abisola uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills, behavior, and relationship patterns. One common strand is solution-focused work that narrows in on specific goals and practical steps a person can try between sessions to make daily life easier. This approach helps with stress, career pressures, and small relationship changes.

Another helpful approach involves trauma-informed methods that attend to past hurts and safety in relationships while helping a person build coping skills. This kind of work is often used for trauma, abuse, and attachment-related concerns where pacing and regulation matter.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to each person's needs, goals, and preferences rather than insisting on a single model. Clients and the therapist check in together about what is working and adapt the plan as needed.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into a busy life, whether someone needs shorter check-ins, evening appointments, or a way to avoid travel. It also lets people keep momentum between in-person visits and focus on concrete skills that carry over into everyday routines.
