Background and approach
Ajibola uses methods from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people challenge unhelpful thoughts and build better habits. He also draws on motivational interviewing to support changes around substance use and other addictive behaviors. When helpful, he uses parts-based ideas from Internal Family Systems to map internal conflicts and reduce self-criticism.
People seeking help with multicultural concerns, paranoia, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, or process addictions such as gambling or pornography can address those topics in session. He can also support those working through family problems and the stress of life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and Yoruba and are provided while licensed in Illinois.
Ajibola welcomes steps toward recovery and practical problem solving, and he works with each person to set realistic next steps.
How his approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and strengths, with the therapist listening closely and reflecting what matters most. This approach helps people feel heard and decide what changes they want to try. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and breaks them into small, practical steps to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the best approach is a joint process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, culture, and comfort level. That can mean mixing listening-based work with CBT tasks or using motivational interviewing when planning changes around substance use.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send updates, ask quick questions, or keep momentum between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while working toward meaningful changes.
