About Esther

Dr. Esther Ogunjimi uses practical, people-focused therapy to help with stress, anxiety, relationships, and life changes. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 21 years of experience and works from Texas. She speaks English and Yoruba and accepts international clients.

Her approach is direct and collaborative. She listens first, then helps set clear, achievable goals. Sessions focus on skills you can use between meetings - like managing strong emotions, improving communication, and handling grief or loss.

Dr. Ogunjimi draws on methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build values-based action. She also uses Client-Centered and Emotionally-Focused ideas to strengthen emotional awareness and connection in relationships.

Many people come for help with parenting strain, workplace stress, or after trauma and abuse. She also supports those dealing with intimacy concerns, eating worries, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Conversations include practical strategies and real-life problem solving.

Sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients select Start Therapy, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small steps toward those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practices alternative ways of responding to stress and anxiety. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotions in relationships and improving emotional connection and communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Together you can adjust the plan over time based on what helps most for symptoms like anxiety, grief, or relationship strain.

Online sessions can take place by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good option for a longer conversation. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, notes between sessions, or when typing feels more comfortable. These formats increase flexibility and help maintain continuity of care across locations.
