About Esther

Dr. Esther Ogunjimi blends evidence-informed methods with a compassionate, client-centered stance to help people navigate emotional and life challenges.

Background and approach

As an LCSW with 21 years of clinical experience licensed in Texas (TX LCSW 40326), she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside ACT, DBT, EFT, and person-centered approaches to design care that fits each person's concerns and circumstances. Her work emphasizes building practical skills, clarifying values, and strengthening emotional regulation so clients can respond to stressors more effectively.

Her areas of focus include anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting and family difficulties, career stress, compassion fatigue, and issues related to self-esteem and anger. Dr.

Ogunjimi also addresses attachment and abandonment struggles, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, communication problems, and related personality or behavioral patterns that interfere with wellbeing. She accepts international clients and offers sessions in English and Yoruba.

Clients who seek change will find an approach that prioritizes respect, sensitivity, and collaboration. Intake begins by tailoring dialogue and treatment planning to specific goals, with attention to practical coping skills and long-term resilience rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.

Integrating evidence-based approaches with flexible online care

Dr. Ogunjimi frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support clients in clarifying values, developing psychological flexibility, and taking meaningful action even when difficult feelings are present. Client-centered techniques inform the therapeutic stance by prioritizing empathy, respect, and collaborative listening as the foundation for change.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailor methods and pacing so the work feels relevant and manageable. That partnership helps ensure interventions match what the client wants to accomplish rather than imposing a single model.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase accessibility and scheduling flexibility. These options make it easier to fit regular care into busy lives, maintain momentum between meetings, and access support from different locations, including for international clients. Licensed professionals guide the process and adapt exercises and skill practice to the online format so clients can make steady progress toward their goals.
