About Ngozi

Dr. Ngozi Okose is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 22 years of clinical experience. She sees adults who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting pressures, grief, trauma, addiction concerns, ADHD, and related issues. She works with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and offers therapy in English.

Dr. Okose keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens to what matters most and helps people weigh options that affect everyday life. Conversations often focus on communication, boundaries, coping skills, problem solving, and clearer decision making. She draws on several evidence-informed methods to match what a person needs in the moment.

Her background includes years in higher education and long clinical practice in Houston, Texas. That experience shaped her approach to assessment, teaching, and case management. She also has postgraduate study and coursework in counseling, psychology, and related fields from institutions named in her biography.

Her work has included training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma response, among other programs. She uses these skills to help clients manage symptoms, adjust routines, and try new behavior patterns. Sessions can include learning specific skills, reviewing progress, and planning practical steps between meetings.

People who bring parenting stress, blended-family concerns, adoption and foster care questions, abandonment or attachment worries, or caregiver strain will find a therapist familiar with these topics. She also addresses intimacy problems, body image, sleep and eating concerns, and career-related stress.

To begin, the usual route is to complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session. The first meetings focus on clear goals and straightforward plans for moving forward.

How sessions work

How her approaches shape online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes meaningful values and practical actions a person can take despite discomfort, which can help with anxiety, depression, and parenting stress.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships affect current patterns of closeness and conflict. This work looks at attachment concerns, abandonment issues, and how to change repeated interaction patterns that cause pain.

Finding the right fit is collaborative. The therapist works with each person to decide which approach or combination of approaches will best match their goals and preferences. Early sessions are used to try methods, check what feels useful, and adjust the plan as needed.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, avoid travel time, and have shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow working with a therapist who understands cultural and parenting concerns without changing where you live. Licensed professionals will help arrange practical details so sessions fit everyday life and goals.
