About Esther

Dr. Esther Ogunjimi is a licensed clinical social worker who centers her practice on practical, skills-based care. She draws on two decades of mental health experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and career or life transitions.

Her style is straightforward and respectful, aimed at helping a worried parent find steady footing amid change. She uses approaches that focus on what works in day-to-day life. Sessions often include learning concrete coping skills, practicing new ways to think about problems, and exploring values that guide choices.

Background and approach

These techniques are adapted to each person’s situation rather than applying a one-size-fits-all plan. Dr. Ogunjimi has particular experience with trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, attachment struggles, and issues around self-esteem and motivation.

She also supports people facing grief, compassion fatigue, and challenges related to attention differences. Her background includes more than 21 years in professional social work and mental health settings. In sessions she aims to be sensitive and compassionate while keeping conversations focused on change and growth.

She works in English and Yoruba and practices under her Texas LCSW license. Practical steps and small, steady changes are emphasized over quick fixes. Parents reading this will find a clinician who prioritizes clear tools and real-world coping strategies.

She helps people set manageable goals and build skills that fit into busy family life.

Evidence-based approaches for online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people accept difficult feelings and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and life changes by shifting attention to what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and problem-solving in day-to-day life. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, EFT, centers on understanding emotional responses and improving emotional connection; it can help with intimacy-related issues and attachment struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which method or combination fits best. That means trying tools, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan based on your goals and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to continue care when life gets hectic. Many people find that having multiple formats available helps them practice skills between sessions and keeps progress steady.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.
