About Ngozi
Dr. Ngozi Okose is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. She has 22 years of clinical experience and offers a calm, direct approach to therapy that aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and other life challenges.
She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and understand strong emotions in relationships and personal struggles. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support changes in thinking and behavior.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped to fit each person’s needs rather than following a single formula. Dr. Okose has extensive experience working with culturally diverse people and brings sensitivity to different backgrounds.
She frames therapy as a collaborative process, helping clients set practical goals and trying methods that fit their daily lives. This practical focus includes work on sleep, eating, parenting strain, workplace stress, and coping with chronic illness. Her clinical history includes many years in independent practice in Houston and earlier academic roles that involved teaching, program coordination, and supervision.
That background informs how she explains concepts and guides skill-building in sessions. People who come to her can expect a patient, empathetic tone and straightforward guidance. She encourages questions and aims to make sessions feel approachable while addressing issues like trauma, addiction concerns, ADHD-related struggles, self-esteem, and intimacy-related worries.

Online support
How emotion-focused and acceptance-based methods work online
Dr. Okose incorporates Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people recognize and name strong emotions that affect relationships and personal choices. EFT aims to make feelings clearer so people can respond to them more effectively and find new ways of relating. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is also used to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and to take small actions that match their values. Attachment-Based Therapy helps examine patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns show up now, especially when navigating closeness and trust.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options and adapt methods based on a client's needs, goals, and preferences. The decision is collaborative, and approaches may change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls support face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging allow ongoing support between meetings or for people who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to continue work from different locations.
