About Esther
Dr. Esther Ogunjimi uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and life transitions. She is a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - based in Texas with 21 years of experience.
Her style is warm and straightforward, and she focuses on helping people build coping skills and clearer paths forward. She helps people who carry the effects of childhood trauma and abuse move toward calmer daily life.
Background and approach
She also works with those facing intimacy-related issues, attachment struggles, and challenges around self-esteem and motivation. Clients come for help with career stress, parenting concerns, eating issues, and the emotional pain that comes with separation or loss. Therapy with her blends goal-focused techniques and a compassionate, person-centered approach.
That means sessions include practical exercises, thoughtful reflection, and planning for changes people want to make. The work often focuses on building new habits, managing strong emotions, and improving communication. Her background spans a wide range of clinical settings across two decades.
She draws on methods such as cognitive behavioral tools, mindfulness skills, and emotion-focused strategies to meet different needs. She explains ideas in everyday language so people can try them between sessions. Sessions are offered in English and Yoruba and can be scheduled from Texas.
She accepts international clients and uses multiple online formats to suit different routines. Starting is simple: complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits your life.
Approach-focused care delivered online
Dr. Ogunjimi commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed and choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.Finding the best approach is part of the process and is decided together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. That collaborative conversation shapes which techniques are emphasized during sessions and which skills are practised between meetings.
Online therapy with her is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care fit into busy lives. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and exercises that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text messaging work well for short check-ins, tracking progress, or keeping momentum between longer sessions.
