Mariangela Weiskopf, MD, LCPC

Mariangela Weiskopf brings a calm, empathetic presence to therapy and aims to help people feel seen and heard amid modern disconnection. She often uses water imagery to describe healing, positioning herself as a steady beacon in what she calls the ocean of life. Licensed in Maryland, she holds MD and LCPC credentials - MD indicating a medical degree and LCPC meaning Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - and has seven years of professional experience.

Her background spans private practice, community mental health, and work in K-12 schools, giving her experience with children, adolescents, and adults. That range of work and life experience informs an empathic, strength-based style that prioritizes the person in front of her. She has supported clients through trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and challenges related to motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.

Understanding that starting therapy can feel vulnerable and intimidating, she strives to offer a nonjudgmental space where clients can begin to find clarity and make meaningful changes. Her approach is client-centered and strength-focused, and she emphasizes partnership as clients explore goals and next steps on their therapeutic journey. She welcomes the courage it takes to begin therapy and looks forward to working collaboratively toward healing and growth.

Client-Centered Care and Online Access

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person rather than a set of techniques. It emphasizes empathy, active listening, and acceptance so clients can explore their feelings, values, and goals at their own pace. This approach can be especially helpful for issues like grief, self-esteem challenges, relationship concerns, and processing trauma.

A complementary strength-based approach highlights a person’s existing resources and resilience, helping them build confidence and practical strategies for coping with life changes and stress. That orientation supports problem solving and gradual growth rather than pathologizing normal reactions to difficult events.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. She works with each client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made. Clients are treated as partners in shaping their care.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility and easier access to licensed professionals. These options allow scheduling around work, family, and other commitments, and make it possible to continue care during transitions or when in-person visits are impractical.
