About Abisola

Abisola Adepegba is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with 12 years of experience. She holds an LMHC credential in Hawaii and an LCPC in Maryland, and also lists an LPC in Virginia. She works with concerns such as relationship and family issues, grief and loss, parenting challenges, stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, and blended family issues among other focus areas.

She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on small changes that can reduce conflict and stress. She pays attention to relationship patterns, communication habits, and how family roles shift after life events like separation, divorce, or remarriage.

Her approach adapts to the person in front of her rather than following one fixed method. She aims to identify clear goals, try concrete strategies, and adjust plans based on what helps. Typical topics include managing anger, addressing attachment concerns, coping with abandonment or loss, and navigating co-parenting or stepfamily arrangements.

Clients can expect direct discussion of parenting strain, caregiver stress, and the practical problems that come with blending households. She also addresses mood concerns such as depression, bipolar issues, and ADHD-related struggles when they affect relationships and daily functioning.

Abisola’s background combines over a decade of clinical work across multiple states. That experience informs a pragmatic style that emphasizes workable steps and communication changes. To begin, readers are asked to confirm current session options before booking and to use the site’s matching process to schedule a first meeting.

How evidence-based approaches guide remote sessions

Two evidence-based techniques commonly used in practice are cognitive-based work and behavioral strategies. Cognitive approaches look at unhelpful thought patterns that fuel anxiety, low mood, or relationship tensions, and teach ways to test and change those thoughts. Behavioral strategies focus on concrete actions like communication exercises, activity scheduling, or step-by-step changes to household routines that reduce conflict or stress.

Another useful direction is skills-focused work that targets emotion regulation and problem solving. This helps when strong reactions, anger, or attachment worries get in the way of everyday interactions. These techniques suit concerns such as blended family adjustment, parenting strain, and coping with loss.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try methods that match those goals and preferences. Plans are adjusted based on what helps in real life, and the process is practical and iterative.

Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also make it simpler to work on real-life household routines and communication patterns without rearranging the entire day.
