About Esther
Dr. Esther Ogunjimi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with 21 years of experience in mental health. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety and supports those facing relationship or self-esteem struggles.
Sessions are offered in English and Yoruba and she works with clients from inside and outside the U.S. She draws on several practical approaches to help people change unhelpful patterns. Esther uses cognitive behavioral methods to spot and shift negative thoughts and actions.
Background and approach
She also practices client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients set the pace and goals. Her work often addresses issues tied to trauma, attachment, and intimacy. She helps clients who are coping with grief, life transitions, career setbacks, or caregiving stress.
She also supports people dealing with anger, eating concerns, or symptoms often linked to ADHD. Esther pays attention to family-of-origin themes and communication problems that affect relationships. She can help people sort through abandonment worries, codependency, or the fallout from separation and divorce.
Her approach is to break problems into clear steps so clients can practice new skills between sessions. Practical skill building is central to her style. That can include emotion regulation techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and values-based actions from acceptance and commitment therapy.
She tailors the plan to fit each person's needs and life circumstances.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take meaningful actions even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings appear. It is useful for anxiety, life transitions, and finding direction after loss. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns because it gives concrete skills to practice between sessions.Finding the right approach is a cooperative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up day to day. Together they choose or blend methods and adjust them as progress is made so the plan fits the person's life and needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video calls are useful when visual cues help the work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messages can support quick skill reminders or ongoing reflections between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while using the approaches described above.
