About Oluwakemi

Oluwakemi Babatunde is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with seven years of clinical experience. She centers her work on each person's needs and uses practical strategies to ease stress and help with everyday parenting challenges. Kemi keeps sessions straightforward and focused so parents and caregivers can get usable tools fast.

Her practice addresses common concerns like anxiety, depression, anger, trauma and abuse, and relationship struggles. She also helps people dealing with family tensions, parenting stress, and life transitions.

Background and approach

Communication problems, self-love, and women's issues are additional areas she pays attention to when relevant. Kemi draws from client-centered therapy to listen and build on each person's strengths. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep problems going.

Solution-focused techniques help set small, achievable goals to move forward quickly. Her background includes work across residential treatment, outpatient and inpatient settings, independent practice, and school-based services. She has experience with organizations such as Correct Care Solutions, the Department of Mental Health, Justice Works, the Department of Corrections, and New Beginnings Counseling Firm.

Sessions are offered in English and can use a mix of formats that fit a family's schedule. Kemi aims to create a practical plan parents can use between sessions, with clear steps and simple communication strategies to try at home.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building on what already helps a person. Online sessions using this approach start with the client's priorities and work from there to improve family interactions and coping skills.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In virtual sessions this approach helps parents and caregivers notice unhelpful thinking, test new responses, and practice changes between meetings to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Solution-focused therapy is brief and goal oriented. It helps identify small, practical steps to improve communication, parenting routines, or immediate family stressors and tracks progress over a few sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what feels reasonable to try. Together they decide which methods to use and adjust the plan as things change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier for busy families to fit therapy into their day and try tools in real time at home. The flexibility supports consistent follow-through and keeps momentum between sessions.

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.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
