About Esther
Dr. Esther Ogunjimi is a licensed clinical social worker in Texas who uses practical, evidence-based approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and life transitions. She brings 21 years of mental health experience and focuses on clear, down-to-earth guidance that people can use between sessions.
Her work often centers on improving self-esteem, coping with grief, and healing from childhood trauma and abuse. She also helps people who are navigating career challenges, relationship and intimacy concerns, and the strain of caregiving.
Background and approach
Anger and emotional regulation are regular topics in her work. In sessions she adapts the conversation to each person’s needs. She draws from methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and emotion-focused strategies to break unhelpful patterns and build new skills.
She also uses acceptance-based ideas and client-centered listening to support change at a comfortable pace. Her style is respectful and warm while remaining focused on practical progress. She explains tools plainly so clients can practice them between meetings.
People often leave sessions with at least one small step to try on their own. Dr. Ogunjimi offers services in English and Yoruba and accepts international clients.
She provides therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, and works with clients to match the style and pace of therapy to their goals.

Therapeutic approaches and online care options
Dr. Ogunjimi uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, which can reduce anxiety, anger, and low mood. She also draws on emotion-focused therapy to help people understand, express, and shift core feelings that affect relationships and self-worth.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then blend strategies from different methods to fit what feels most helpful. This collaborative process lets clients try an approach and adjust it over time.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for full conversations and skill work, phone calls can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth, live chat allows short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to schedule regular work on anger, stress, and relationship patterns without long commutes.
