Ajibola Obajimi, LCPC

Ajibola Obajimi is an Illinois licensed counselor (LCPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and addiction. He also supports those facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Ajibola speaks English and Yoruba and brings four years of clinical experience to sessions.

Ajibola uses a practical, person-focused style. He treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with a focus on small, achievable steps that fit daily life.

He commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Motivational Interviewing is used when people are unsure about change and need to find their own reasons to move forward. Client-Centered Therapy guides the relationship so people feel heard and respected.

Ajibola also works with trauma-related concerns and other complex issues using parts-focused approaches like Internal Family Systems to help people understand internal conflicts. He combines methods to match each person's needs rather than follow a single script.

People can expect straightforward language and a focus on practical skills in sessions. Ajibola encourages questions and sets goals together so progress is measurable and relevant to daily life.

CBT and Motivational Work Online

Ajibola commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice the thoughts and actions that keep problems going, then practice different responses to feel and function better. He also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and build commitment when change feels hard.

He treats finding the right approach as a team effort. During early sessions he will listen to priorities, explain options, and adapt methods to match the client's goals and preferences. Clients shape the pace and focus of the work together with the therapist.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls let people work face to face, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day, live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins or when writing helps organize thoughts. These options make it simpler to keep appointments and practice skills between meetings.
