About Ohiro
Dr. Ohiro Oni-Eseleh is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-R) in New York with 32 years of experience. He helps people manage stress, relationship and marital problems, depression, anxiety, and challenges tied to migration and discrimination. His work also covers career questions, caregiving strain, aging concerns, and compassion fatigue.
He uses practical, evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and client-centered approaches. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and patterns, practicing new responses, and building concrete skills for everyday situations.
Dr. Oni-Eseleh has worked across clinical and organizational settings. He helps individuals and groups address social adjustment, workplace functioning, and diversity and inclusion goals. He also supports people handling grief, anger, intimacy-related struggles, and questions about life purpose or midlife change.
In appointments he emphasizes clear goals and practical steps. Conversations often include skill practice, problem solving, and checking how new strategies fit the person’s daily life. He does not take cases involving pending litigation or potential litigation.
To begin, people typically complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session to set goals and priorities. Follow-up work focuses on measurable changes and adjusting strategies when needed.
How his approaches work in online care
Dr. Oni-Eseleh commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside client-centered work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. ACT emphasizes noticing values and taking committed action even when difficult feelings are present, which can help with grief, life changes, and career decisions. Client-centered therapy centers the person’s concerns and pacing, giving space to talk and to decide next steps.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will work with clients to clarify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That process usually involves setting small, measurable steps and reviewing progress together.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow focus on skill practice between meetings. Therapists often combine short check-ins and longer sessions to match work or caregiving schedules and to practice techniques in real life.
