Andrew Oshobu, LCSW

Andrew Oshobu is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. He focuses on practical steps that reduce overwhelm and make daily life feel more manageable.

He uses straightforward conversation and active listening to learn what matters most to each person. Sessions emphasize skills people can use between meetings, like emotion regulation and problem-solving. Andrew also helps people reclaim a sense of purpose and rebuild self-esteem after painful experiences.

His practice pays attention to culture and identity. He offers a nonjudgmental space for people who face discrimination or who are navigating questions tied to manhood and fatherhood. That cultural awareness shapes how he frames goals and strategies in therapy.

Andrew draws from several well-known methods to guide the work. He blends approaches to fit each person's needs rather than following one fixed style. This often means pairing short-term skills with deeper processing when past hurts are involved.

With three years of clinical experience and an LCSW credential, he practices in Texas. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone, live chat, or messaging. People who want straightforward, culturally aware support often find this approach helpful.

Practical therapy approaches for online care

Andrew often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy in his work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with concrete behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take action toward those values even when difficult emotions are present. Client-centered work emphasizes listening, empathy, and helping the person set the pace and goals for the sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a cooperative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust plans together as progress is observed. That way techniques align with each person’s needs and preferences.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, step-by-step skill coaching, or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other busy schedules while keeping the focus on practical change.
