Background and approach

Chinyere holds the Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor credential - LCPC - and is also a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC. She trained in mental health counseling at Florida Atlantic University and earned a Master of Arts from Roosevelt University. Over 11 years she has used evidence-based methods to address depression, anxiety, trauma, bipolar mood concerns, and substance-related issues.

In sessions she offers concrete strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, along with motivational interviewing when people need help finding momentum. She uses plain language to teach skills for handling intense emotions, improving communication, and shifting unhelpful thoughts. She also brings trauma-focused ideas when past hurt is getting in the way of daily life.

Chinyere discusses practical lifestyle supports too, like sleep, movement, and nutrition, as part of overall wellbeing. Her approach is collaborative: she listens, suggests options, and adjusts techniques to fit each family’s needs. She practices as a licensed clinician in Florida.

People seeking help with parenting stress, addiction struggles, grief, or self-esteem concerns will find straightforward, skill-based work paired with compassionate support.

How targeted approaches translate to online care

Chinyere commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to reduce anxiety and shift mood. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills for people who struggle with intense feelings or relationship conflicts.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan as needed so the approach fits the client’s situation and preferences. That joint decision making helps keep therapy focused and useful.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy family lives. Video calls allow face-to-face work on skills and communication, while phone sessions provide a simpler option when video isn’t possible. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients check in, practice new strategies between sessions, and get timely support. These formats are meant to increase flexibility and help people progress without added travel or scheduling barriers.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
