About Ohiro
Dr. Ohiro Oni-Eseleh is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 32 years of experience based in New York. He uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy along with other evidence-informed approaches to help people facing relationship strain, grief, depression, anxiety, and stress.
He focuses on clear, practical conversations. Sessions look at what feels stuck in relationships or in personal goals, and then explore ways to shift patterns that cause pain. He helps people who are coping with life changes, career questions, parenting strain, and the effects of prejudice or immigration stress.
Background and approach
Across three decades of practice he has worked in many settings and with many different concerns. That background informs a flexible style that fits each person's needs. He leans on client-centered methods to listen deeply and on cognitive and behavioral tools when people want concrete skills.
Dr. Oni-Eseleh also helps organizations and professionals with diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts and occupational functioning. He brings respect, hope, and a focus on realistic change to those consultations.
He does not take cases that involve pending litigation or the possibility of litigation. People can expect a collaborative approach where the therapist and client set goals together. Sessions are offered in English and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and change emotional patterns that affect relationships and closeness. In sessions the focus is on identifying core emotions and reshaping how those feelings are expressed and responded to. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches ways to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking action that matches personal values. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where people want clearer direction. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience, with the therapist offering empathic listening and collaboration to help clients find their own answers.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then try methods that fit the person's needs. That decision is collaborative and can shift as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and emotional work, phone can be simpler when bandwidth or hands-free time matters, and chat or text can suit brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and connect from different locations.
