About Esther
Dr. Esther Ogunjimi is a Texas-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 21 years of experience in mental health. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, grief, and coping with life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Yoruba and she accepts international clients.
She regularly supports people dealing with childhood trauma and abuse, attachment struggles, and family of origin problems. She also helps clients who face career uncertainty, parenting strain, caregiver stress, or compassion fatigue. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, and eating-related issues.
Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice patterns and try new ways of responding. She also uses client-centered methods and elements of dialectical behavior therapy and emotionally-focused work when those fit the goals. In sessions she talks through thoughts, feelings, and practical steps that can be tried between meetings.
Many people come wanting direction after a major life change or when they feel stuck. She offers straightforward conversations about what matters next and what small experiments might help clarify priorities. The emphasis is on realistic steps you can take and skills to manage distress.
Practical details vary by location and plan. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the See online therapy options button.
How her clinical approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and values, then try small actions that align with what matters. It can help when someone feels stuck after a job change or relationship shift by focusing on practical steps rather than getting stuck in worry. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses specific exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress to build skills that reduce symptoms over time. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration so the person sets the pace and goals; this approach supports people who need space to clarify what matters next.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options and tailor the mix of methods based on the client's concerns, goals, and preferences. The client and therapist decide collaboratively which techniques to try and when to adjust direction.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them explicitly. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people use different communication styles, such as talking through practical problems or working with worksheets between meetings. Ask about available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so your first session can be scheduled in a way that fits your routine.
