About Meg

LCSW-C (Maryland) clinician with 26 years of experience, Dr. Meg DePasquale focuses on addictions, trauma, mood struggles, and relationship and family concerns. She practices in Maryland and offers support for a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and parenting and caregiver stress. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Meg helps people talk through substance use and recovery challenges, grief, and the emotional fallout from trauma and abuse. She also addresses motivation, self-esteem, anger, and coping with major life changes. Her work includes attention to ADHD, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, and postpartum depression when relevant to the client.

Her approach centers on practical conversation and collaborative problem solving. She aims to make it easier to name stressful patterns and try different ways of responding. Sessions typically focus on concrete steps a person can take between meetings as well as on understanding how past experiences influence current behavior.

Clients can expect direct, clear conversations about goals and obstacles. The therapist encourages honest discussion of what’s working and what isn’t. Progress is checked regularly and plans are adjusted to fit changing needs.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary by location, and the subscription model used for appointments may be canceled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted.

How evidence-based approaches translate into online care

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques emphasize identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and then practicing different responses. For example, cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on spotting thought patterns that worsen mood and trying small behavioral changes to shift feelings and daily routines. This is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Another common technique addresses trauma and its effects by helping a person name difficult memories and learn grounding or coping practices that reduce their daily impact. That work is often paired with problem-solving around relationships, parenting challenges, or substance use so practical steps are part of each session.

Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust over time based on what helps. The process is about testing what works and changing course when needed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find remote sessions help maintain continuity of care while balancing work, parenting, or other obligations.
