About Esther

Dr. Esther Ogunjimi draws on an integrative, evidence-informed approach to help people address persistent stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, mood concerns, and ADHD-related struggles.

Background and approach

As a licensed clinical social worker in Texas (LCSW), she blends methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to create practical strategies that fit each person’s life and goals.

With 21 years of experience in social work and mental health care, she emphasizes compassionate, respectful collaboration and tailors plans to match individual strengths and circumstances. Her practice includes support for trauma and abuse recovery, grief, anger, coping with life changes, self-esteem work, intimacy-related concerns, eating and parenting issues, career transitions, and caregiver stress.

Dr. Ogunjimi also addresses a broad range of family and attachment issues, including blended family dynamics, abandonment themes, and communication problems.

She works in English and Yoruba and accepts international clients, offering multiple formats to meet different needs. Her stated aim is to empower clients to take courageous steps toward change while building sustainable coping skills and clearer emotional awareness.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most and develop committed actions aligned with their values while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. ACT can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life-change work because it emphasizes flexible responding and values-driven goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain distress, offering concrete skills for managing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and anger. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses within relationships to improve bonds and intimacy-related concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works together with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts strategies over time as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps align treatment with the client’s priorities rather than prescribing a single method up front.

Online therapy using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and access across distances. These formats make it easier to integrate therapy into a busy life, revisit skills between sessions, and maintain continuity when circumstances change, while allowing licensed professionals to deliver the same evidence-informed methods used in traditional settings.
