About Esther
Dr. Esther Ogunjimi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with 21 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, anger, self-esteem struggles, and adjustment to life changes. She also supports people coping with family issues, grief, eating concerns, career strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and intimacy-related worries.
In sessions she focuses on what a person is facing now and how patterns from the past affect today. She talks through attachment struggles, family of origin issues, and experiences of abandonment so people can notice repeating roles and expectations. Conversations are practical and aimed at clearer choices rather than labels.
Her approach draws on several established methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. She uses these to teach coping skills, manage emotions, and improve communication around difficult topics like commitment, codependency, and blended family stress.
Dr. Ogunjimi brings direct experience helping people with caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, and divorce or separation adjustments. She also addresses avoidant and dependent personality patterns, chronic emptiness, and domestic violence recovery needs when those issues come up in therapy.
Sessions can be conducted in English or Yoruba. For people starting out, she asks for a short intake so goals and practical steps are clear from the first meetings.
How her clinical approaches shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, avoidance, and building a clearer sense of what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches step-by-step strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with depression, anxiety, and problems like low self-esteem. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions in relationships and on how people attach to others; it can help when intimacy and attachment concerns are central.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, day-to-day life, and preferences. That decision can change over time as needs shift and as skills develop.
The original biography does not specify which online formats are used, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove the need to travel to an office. Licensed professionals adapt ACT, CBT, and EFT techniques to remote sessions so people can practice skills between meetings and bring real-life examples into therapy.
