Esther Okunoyejo
Welcome, everyone—men, women, boys, girls, and cherished members of the LGBTQIA+ community! My name is Esther, and I’m here for anyone who feels a bit (or a lot!) stuck. Life can sometimes become overwhelming, whether due to losing someone you love, experiencing sudden anxiety spikes, navigating complicated relationships, or facing major life transitions. Whatever it is, you don’t have to face it alone—I’m here for you.I hold a Master’s Degree in Social Work from the University of Louisville, KY, and earned my undergraduate degree in Interdisciplinary Studies with a focus on Law and Society from Georgia State University. I’m also in the exciting final stretch toward my full licensure as a therapist.
Over the past year and a half, I’ve supported clients through relationship and attachment issues, complex family dynamics, emotional distress, depression, anxiety, struggles with boundary-setting, mood swings, emotional regulation challenges, social isolation, identity exploration, role transitions, and even pregnancy-related anxiety both before and during conception.
My therapeutic style is eclectic and tailored uniquely to each client, incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Assertiveness Training, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Attachment-Based Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Motivational Interviewing. Simply put—I use whatever blend of evidence-based strategies works best for you!
Outside of therapy sessions, you’ll likely find me curled up on the couch with a warm cup of tea, deep into a TV show marathon, or planning my next adventure—I have a goal to visit 10 countries before turning 30!
In our sessions together, you can count on my unwavering encouragement, validation, and collaboration. While the journey may have its ups and downs, I promise you’ll leave feeling more in control, equipped with practical skills, and empowered to become the authentic ‘you’ you truly aspire to be.
