Adisatu (Addie) Adeyemi, MD, LCPC

Adisatu (Addie) Adeyemi is a licensed therapist practicing in Maryland. She brings eight years of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or major life changes. Addie talks with clients about confidence, motivation, parenting strains, and relationship concerns in a straightforward, supportive way.

She centers sessions on each person's strengths and lived experience. Addie believes people know their own stories best and she works alongside them to set clear, achievable goals. Her approach is collaborative and practical rather than vague or prescriptive.

Addie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, and Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship. She helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small, manageable behavior changes in daily life.

In sessions she focuses on problem solving and real-world steps. Conversations often include skill building for coping with anger, managing mood swings, or handling parenting stress. She also supports people working through trauma, abuse, or the loss of someone important.

Her style is warm and direct. New clients can expect a practical plan and follow-up between sessions when needed. People who prefer clear tools and steady encouragement often find this approach helpful.

How CBT and Client-Centered Work Online

Adisatu commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, respect, and building a trusting relationship so clients can explore feelings and make their own choices.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and daily routines to decide whether CBT techniques, a client-centered conversation style, or a mix will be most useful. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or transportation limits. Video calls let conversations feel similar to in-person meetings. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide quick access for brief updates, skill practice, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or other daily obligations.
