About Ngozi

Dr. Ngozi Okose is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a core part of her work. She focuses on practical steps people can take to manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, relationship struggles, grief, and other life changes. Her style is calm and approachable, aimed at helping clients feel heard and understood.

With 22 years of clinical experience, she adapts methods to fit each person. She blends CBT with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Sessions often include skills practice, thought work, and noticing patterns that get in the way of goals.

Her background includes teaching and supervising counselors as well as a long private practice in Texas. That history informs her focus on clear explanations and practical tools. She also has experience addressing issues tied to cultural and immigration experiences.

Dr. Okose supports people facing attention problems, addictions, body image and eating concerns, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and identity issues. She also helps with intimacy-related problems, parenting stress, career transitions, and compassion fatigue. Her approach is flexible and tailored to what each person needs most.

She works in English and offers sessions in several online formats. New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session that fits their timing. The therapy subscription can be canceled at any time.

How CBT and ACT translate to online therapy

Dr. Okose commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes that reduce distress. CBT is often useful for anxiety, mood concerns, sleep and attention-related struggles because it focuses on clear steps and practice.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful action even when hard feelings are present. Attachment-based ideas help when relationship patterns or early loss affect current emotional responses. Together these approaches aim to combine skill building with understanding what matters most to each person.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with clients to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean emphasizing skills practice, values-driven action, or exploring relational patterns depending on what the client wants to change.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and guided skill practice. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging offer flexible, ongoing contact for brief support and homework check-ins. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep consistent momentum toward goals.
