About Ngozi
Dr. Ngozi Okose is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. She brings 22 years of clinical experience and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and relationship and intimacy concerns.
She aims to create a calm, respectful space where clients can talk honestly and work toward clearer choices and better daily functioning. She uses a mix of well-known approaches to fit each person's needs rather than a one-size-fits-all method.
Background and approach
Common methods in her practice include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Attachment-Based work. Sessions emphasize practical skills, clearer thinking, and building patterns that feel workable over time. Over two decades of work inform her practice, including years in higher education and long-term independent practice in Houston, Texas.
That background shapes how she explains ideas and teaches new tools in simple, step-by-step ways. She also brings experience with grief, trauma, addictions, career concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, and caregiver stress. Dr.
Okose describes herself as approachable and patient. She tailors strategies to a person's culture, values, and life situation. Her goal is to help people make decisions that meet emotional needs and improve daily adjustment.
She offers online formats including video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging. Sessions are offered in English and are organized through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and identify personal values to guide everyday choices. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting negative thinking and building new habits through concrete exercises and homework tasks; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and problems with sleep or behavior. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people create more supported ways of relating and communicating.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through your goals, preferences, and daily routines to decide which methods to try first. That plan can change over time based on what feels helpful and what practical progress is being made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy lives. Video lets you see facial cues during teaching and skill practice. Phone calls require less bandwidth and can make it easier to check in during a break. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, reminders, or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping focus on learning and applying new skills.
