About Ngozi

Dr. Ngozi Okose is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. She draws on two decades of clinical work to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma, and parenting challenges.

She aims for clear, practical support and talks through options with each person. Her approach is warm and down-to-earth so conversations feel easier to start. Dr.

Okose mixes well-established therapies to fit each person's needs rather than using one fixed method.

Background and approach

She uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based approaches, and client-centered work. That variety helps her address issues like mood, attention problems, addictions, grief, intimacy, and family concerns. Her training spans multiple countries and disciplines, and she has over 22 years of professional experience.

In independent practice in Texas she applies clinical assessment and practical strategies she’s learned through years of teaching and clinic work. She emphasizes listening first, then building step-by-step plans that make sense in daily life. Sessions focus on clear goals such as improving communication, managing strong emotions, handling parenting stress, or coping with life changes.

She encourages self-awareness and small behavior changes that add up over time. The tone in sessions is collaborative and respectful. Dr.

Okose holds Texas LPC 18111 and offers services in English. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She does not accept international clients.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values; it can help with anxiety, stress, and making changes that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical behavior experiments to reduce symptoms like depression, sleep problems, or worry. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and aims to improve connection and communication in important relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about your goals and try methods that match your needs. If one approach is not helping, she adjusts the plan together with you until it fits your life and priorities.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to receive care. Video calls let you work face-to-face from home, phone sessions can be easier when schedules are tight, and live chat or text-based messaging support shorter check-ins or on-the-go reflection. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while balancing family, work, and other responsibilities.

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.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
