About Meg

Dr. Meg DePasquale brings more than two decades of clinical experience to her Maryland practice, combining medical training with licensed clinical social work to support people facing a wide range of life challenges.

Background and approach

With an MD and LCSW-C credential, she draws on 26 years in the field to help clients navigate issues such as addictions, trauma and abuse, mood disorders including depression and bipolar, anxiety and stress, grief, and ADHD among other concerns.

Her approach emphasizes creating an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings and build practical strategies for coping and growth. Dr.

DePasquale offers guidance around relationship and family tensions, parenting stresses, compassion fatigue, self-esteem and motivation, and life transitions, adapting support to each person’s goals. She also addresses specialized areas like postpartum depression, substance use, personality and mood disorders, and challenges related to intellectual disability or autism spectrum conditions.

Clients who value collaborative problem solving and experienced clinical perspective may find her style particularly helpful. She encourages the courage it takes to begin therapy and works with people to identify next steps toward greater resilience and purpose.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care

Dr. DePasquale uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the presenting issue and client preferences. One commonly used approach involves structured skills work for managing mood and anxiety symptoms, teaching practical strategies for emotional regulation and coping that are useful for depression, bipolar mood shifts, and stress-related conditions. Another approach emphasizes trauma-informed methods to help people process and reduce the ongoing impact of past abuse or traumatic experiences while building safety and resilience.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative; she partners with each person to assess goals, preferences, and response to different techniques and adjusts the plan as therapy progresses. That process helps ensure methods fit the client rather than imposing a single model on every case.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules or limited mobility. These formats make it easier to maintain consistent care, check in between sessions, or access support from home while working with licensed professionals and therapists who can adapt interventions for remote delivery.
