About Esther
Dr. Esther Ogunjimi is a licensed clinical social worker in Texas who practices with warmth and direct care. She brings 21 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes.
She speaks English and Yoruba and works with people facing relationship and intimacy challenges, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, career issues, and compassion fatigue. Her approach centers on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside practical tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on understanding feelings, identifying unhelpful patterns, and building skills to respond differently in difficult moments. Conversations are tailored to each person’s situation and goals. Esther draws on many years of social work practice to help clients strengthen self-esteem, cope with anger, and address attachment or abandonment concerns.
She also supports people dealing with eating concerns, ADHD-related struggles, and the effects of family-of-origin problems. The work often mixes emotion-focused reflection with concrete behavior steps. Clients can expect a calm, respectful tone and straightforward guidance.
Esther aims to empower people to make changes that fit their lives. She frames progress as small, steady steps rather than instant fixes. Practical arrangements include video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
International clients are accepted. To begin, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

Online support
Emotion and Skill-Focused Care Online
Online sessions draw on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people explore and make sense of strong feelings, repair hurtful patterns, and build closer, more satisfying connections with others. EFT offers focused work on how emotions shape behavior and relationships, which can help with intimacy, attachment worries, and relationship stress.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take action toward a meaningful life, even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and depression. These methods are presented in plain language and linked to everyday goals.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That discussion is ongoing and adjusts as progress is made.
Online formats include video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexible options. Video calls are useful for deeper conversation and emotion-focused exercises. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, tracking progress, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options help fit therapy into busy lives and different time zones.
