About Rilwan

Rilwan Adigun is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who uses a straightforward, practical approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction. He brings 16 years of experience to sessions and aims to make therapy feel approachable and useful. His style is warm and interactive, focused on listening and working with each person’s goals.

If someone is wrestling with parenting challenges, relationship strain, or life changes, he offers concrete steps to move forward.

Background and approach

He draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors. He also uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and solution-focused methods to identify small, achievable goals. Mindfulness tools are introduced to improve emotional regulation and reduce reactivity.

Rilwan adapts the plan based on what each person needs. Sessions emphasize clear, manageable strategies rather than long lectures. He combines compassion with practical exercises so clients leave with tools they can use at home.

Over his career he has worked with people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, anger, and ADHD among other concerns. He also addresses infidelity and personality disorder-related challenges when relevant to a client's goals. His work includes attention to career stress and self-esteem concerns.

Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients. Rilwan offers multiple online formats to fit different schedules and preferences.

Practical approaches for online support

Rilwan uses cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing to guide online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits, which can ease anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational interviewing focuses on finding a person’s own reasons to change, which is useful for addictions, career shifts, and making parenting changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will listen to your concerns, discuss options, and tailor methods to your goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps match tools to what is most likely to be useful for you.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These formats allow people to fit meetings around family schedules, work, or travel and to use different communication methods as needs change. The variety of options supports continued progress even when life gets busy.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
