About Esther

Dr. Esther Ogunjimi is an LCSW licensed in Texas with 21 years of clinical social work experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, anger, grief, and depression. She also supports those managing parenting pressures, career-related stress, ADHD, and recovery from trauma and abuse.

She uses clear, goal-focused methods in sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her approach, along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered work. In practical terms this means noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, testing different responses, and practicing skills between meetings.

Her background includes long-term practice in mental health and social work settings across Texas. That experience informs a focus on improving everyday coping - for example reducing reactivity, improving communication, and managing upsetting memories or triggers. Sessions are structured and skill-oriented when that fits the issue.

She often helps people build clearer goals for relationships and self-esteem. Work may include improving boundaries, addressing attachment-related concerns, and developing steady routines for mood and stress management. For trauma-related work she combines emotion-focused strategies with skills to stay grounded.

Sessions are delivered in English and Yoruba. International clients can be seen; confirm the current session options before booking. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How CBT and related approaches are used in online sessions

Dr. Ogunjimi uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to stress and anxiety. CBT sessions often include goal setting, skill practice, and short exercises to try between meetings.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Client-Centered Therapy guides conversations so the client's priorities lead the work and pace of sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She reviews the problem, goals, and preferences with the client and recommends techniques that fit. That decision is collaborative and can change as treatment progresses.

Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins during a work break, avoiding travel time, or choosing a format that needs less bandwidth. Ask about session length and scheduling when completing the matching questionnaire.
