How Ajibola uses practical approaches in online sessions
Ajibola commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and habits, then try small behavioral experiments to test alternatives. CBT is useful for worry, low mood, and many anxiety-related patterns.He also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support people who feel unsure about change. This method helps clarify what matters most and builds manageable reasons to take next steps. Client-Centered Therapy is used to keep sessions focused on what the person says is most important and to listen without directing the story.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with a client about goals, preferences, and what has mattered in past efforts. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them based on what helps.
