About Abisola
Abisola Adepegba is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, stress, anxiety, anger, and life transitions. She brings 12 years of experience and aims to meet people where they are. Her approach is down-to-earth and focused on practical steps people can use day to day.
She listens for what matters most and tailors conversations to each person's needs. Sessions focus on clear goals, manageable coping skills, and steps to improve communication and emotional regulation.
Background and approach
She works collaboratively so clients leave with tools they can use between sessions. Her background includes practice across multiple settings and a broad caseload that covers mood concerns like depression and bipolar, attention issues such as ADHD, and trauma and abuse. She also supports people dealing with body image, intimacy concerns, and career stress.
The goal is to address the immediate problem and the patterns that keep it returning. Abisola explains options plainly and helps people make choices that fit their life. She pays attention to cultural and identity issues, including LGBT concerns, and to the stress caregivers often carry.
This helps build realistic plans that feel doable. People who come for help can expect focused sessions that mix listening with concrete strategies. Abisola works with each person to set priorities and track progress so changes can be measured and adjusted over time.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Two evidence-based approaches often used by therapists are skills-based coping and trauma-informed conversational work. Skills-based coping teaches concrete techniques for managing strong feelings like anger or anxiety, such as grounding exercises, breathing strategies, and short behavioral experiments to test new responses. Trauma-informed conversational work focuses on pacing, safety, and understanding how past events influence current reactions; it helps with trust, triggers, and improving emotional regulation.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up day to day, then try methods that fit the person’s needs. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps and what feels manageable.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people see facial cues and practice communication work. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a session needs to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching, or follow-up between longer appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and other responsibilities.
