Adekunle Ilori , LCSW

Adekunle Ilori is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people face trauma, grief, low self-esteem, career stress, and big life changes. He practices with calm respect and aims to make conversations straightforward and useful. Adekunle encourages small steps and practical goals so progress feels achievable.

Adekunle has four years of professional experience working with clients in California. He adapts sessions to each person’s needs and focuses on what will help most right now. Conversations typically center on coping skills, reframing unhelpful thoughts, and building concrete routines that support wellbeing.

People bring many concerns into sessions, including abandonment worries, attachment struggles, relationship communication problems, and feelings of isolation. He also supports those working through divorce, caregiving stress, aging questions, body image concerns, and financial strain. Sessions are meant to be a place to talk things through and map out next steps.

Adekunle offers therapy in English and accepts clients from outside the United States. He provides phone sessions, video calls, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different schedules. The goal is to make care fit the person rather than forcing someone to fit the model.

To begin, he asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. Adekunle aims to meet people where they are and help them find steady ways forward during difficult times.

Evidence-based approaches and online options

Adekunle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical coping and change. One common approach helps people process trauma and reduce its impact by working through memories and reactions in manageable steps, building safety and emotion regulation skills along the way. Another approach centers on improving self-esteem and motivation by identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new behaviors that reinforce more positive self-views.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will work with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and comfort level, and adjust the plan as progress is made. That means checking in often and shifting focus when something isn’t working.

Online therapy here includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation when a longer session is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a more private voice check-in is preferred. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, brief problem-solving, or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to try different formats to see what works best.
