Frank Ogbonna, LPC

Frank Ogbonna is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, and depression. He takes a straightforward, respectful approach and focuses on practical steps clients can use day to day.

Frank believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths to therapy. He helps clients notice those strengths and build on them. He encourages small, doable actions that lead to clearer thinking and better coping.

In sessions he uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and change how they respond. He also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy to help clients clarify values and take meaningful steps even when feelings are hard.

Frank uses client-centered techniques to create a calm, listening space where people can talk through concerns at their own pace. He adds skills from dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing when clients need emotional regulation or extra motivation to change behaviors.

With five years of experience, he aims to make therapy practical and respectful. He works with issues such as abandonment worries, communication problems, control struggles, substance concerns, life purpose questions, and mood disorders. Sessions are offered in English and occur online by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

How CBT and ACT translate to online sessions

The practice uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thinking patterns that feed anxiety or depression; CBT focuses on concrete skills and small behavior changes that can be practiced between sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is also part of the approach and helps people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those values even when emotions are difficult.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients are invited to give feedback so the work reflects their needs and preferences rather than a fixed method.

Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video is useful for more in-depth sessions and practicing skills together, phone calls can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text is helpful for brief check-ins or when people prefer writing. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
