About Ehame
Ehame Gbesso is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland with six years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, trauma, grief, depression, and major life changes. She also focuses on communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, life purpose, post-traumatic stress, and self-love.
Gbesso's style is calm and approachable. She uses straightforward conversation to help clients notice strengths and build on them. Sessions are practical and down-to-earth, with space to talk through what is worrying someone and to practice new ways of coping.
She draws on client-centered therapy to follow the person's concerns and priorities, and on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors. Mindfulness methods are used to help with stress and grounding, and motivational interviewing supports people working through changes such as addiction recovery or shifts in behavior.
In sessions she aims to reduce overwhelm through clear, manageable steps. This can include short exercises in the moment, planning small behavioral experiments, and checking progress between meetings. Conversations are direct but gentle, with occasional use of humor to ease difficult topics.
People who feel stuck after a job change, relationship shift, health event, or loss may find this approach useful. The focus is on practical adjustments and clearer next steps, not on quick fixes. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her methods translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's priorities and experiences. Online sessions using this approach give time for the person to lead the conversation while the therapist listens and reflects. This helps when someone needs to sort through confusing feelings after a big change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In an online format, CBT can include reviewing thought records, setting small tasks between sessions, and practicing new behaviors with follow-up. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions.
Motivational Interviewing is brief, goal-focused, and useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about change. Online conversations can use this approach to clarify motivation, weigh options, and plan next steps in a collaborative way.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences, and try methods that fit those needs. That collaborative process guides which techniques are used over time.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use audio rather than video if that helps them engage. These practical benefits can help therapy fit day-to-day life without promising a particular outcome.
