About Ngozi

Dr. Ngozi Okose is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 22 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, ADHD, addictions, grief, and related struggles. Sessions are conducted in English and she practices from her Texas license.

She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centered work, and cognitive behavioral techniques. In sessions she listens for emotional patterns and attachment concerns and helps people name what is happening in feelings and interactions. She uses practical tools from different approaches rather than relying on a single method.

Her background includes many years in higher education and clinical settings combined with private practice in Texas. That experience shapes how she frames assessments and care. She brings a multicultural perspective and experience with immigrant populations when cultural issues matter in therapy.

In therapy she focuses on concrete skills and clearer emotional understanding. Clients talk through current problems, identify repetitive relationship or coping patterns, and practice new ways of responding. She also supports work on anger, sleep and eating concerns, body image, career stress, and parenting challenges.

Fees vary with location and a subscription model is used that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session using the online therapy options button.

How her approaches are used for remote sessions

Dr. Okose uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and name strong emotions and recurring interaction patterns. EFT emphasizes how emotions shape relationships and personal responses, which can be useful for work on intimacy-related issues, communication problems, and attachment concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that align with their values; it is often used for anxiety, stress, and life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on current needs, goals, and preferences. That means sessions may include emotion-focused conversation, values-based exercises, behavioral practice, or cognitive strategies depending on what the client wants to address.

Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current options before booking.

They also allow flexible ways to practice new skills between meetings, making it simpler to try changes in everyday life while keeping therapy integrated with daily routines.
