About Ngozi
Dr. Ngozi Okose is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 22 years of clinical experience. She focuses on anxiety, stress, relationship strain, trauma, depression, and related concerns.
Her style is warm and down-to-earth, aiming to make therapy easy to talk about and fit into daily life. Dr. Okose draws from several evidence-based methods to match each person’s needs.
She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help change unhelpful thinking patterns.
Background and approach
She also uses acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) tools to help people notice what matters and take values-based actions. Her work includes attachment-based ideas to address relationship patterns and emotion regulation skills from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). Sessions focus on practical skills, clear goals, and steady support.
She adapts her approach when life circumstances call for different tools. Clients meet with her online by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Her practice supports a wide range of concerns, including grief, ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, and career stress.
She also helps with addictions, identity questions, and coping after loss. Dr. Okose brings long experience working with culturally diverse people and immigrants.
She aims to listen first, learn each person’s story, and build a plan together. The process is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and refocus on what matters to them. It emphasizes small values-based steps and practical exercises to reduce anxiety and increase meaningful activity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going; it uses clear, structured exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and trust, and it helps people shift those patterns to improve intimacy and communication.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the client’s pace, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful for deeper conversational work and skill coaching. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or screen time is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, ongoing encouragement, or when people need a shorter way to connect between longer sessions.
