Mariangela Weiskopf , MD, LCPC

Mariangela Weiskopf brings a calm, empathetic presence to therapy and aims to help people feel seen and heard amid common experiences of disconnection and isolation. She favors water metaphors and often describes her work as offering a Beacon of Hope as clients navigate life’s challenges. Licensed in Maryland, she holds an MD (Doctor of Medicine) and an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) and has seven years of professional experience.

Her background spans private practice, community mental health, and K-12 school settings, giving her experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. That breadth of work informs an empathic, strengths-based style that supports people coping with trauma and abuse, grief and loss, motivation and self-esteem concerns, and shifts in life circumstances. She also addresses relationship and intimacy issues, anxiety, stress, and other areas such as parenting and career concerns.

Weiskopf centers her approach on the client’s needs, creating a nonjudgmental space where people can explore feelings, build clarity, and work toward meaningful change. She emphasizes partnership in the therapeutic process and draws on life and clinical experience to tailor support for each person’s goals. She welcomes the courage it takes to begin therapy and stands ready to help clients take the next steps toward their priorities.

Client-Centered Care and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy is central to Weiskopf’s work. This approach focuses on listening deeply to each person’s experience, honoring their perspective, and creating a collaborative space where clients set the pace and goals. It is well suited to issues like relationship struggles, low self-esteem, grief, and adjusting to life changes.

A strength-based orientation complements that work by highlighting a person’s existing resources and capacities. Rather than centering deficits, this approach helps clients identify skills and strengths they can draw on to cope with stress, manage symptoms, and pursue meaningful change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Weiskopf works together with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape the methods and pace of therapy.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy lives. Sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter contacts via live chat or text-based messaging can help maintain continuity between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily routines and to access support from licensed professionals without traveling to an office.
