Olubukola Ajayi, LPC

Olubukola Ajayi is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Her approach is straightforward and practical, aimed at helping clients feel heard and understood from the first session.

She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through painful memories and current struggles. Conversations focus on clear goals and small steps that feel doable. Sessions are collaborative - she listens first, then helps people map out what to try next.

Olubukola uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also draws on client-centered techniques to follow each person’s pace and priorities. For trauma-related concerns she incorporates trauma-focused methods and EMDR to address memories and intense reactions.

Her work often centers on practical coping skills for panic, mood shifts, and social anxiety. She also supports people facing life transitions, relationship communication problems, and issues of guilt, shame, or isolation. She pays attention to a client’s sense of purpose and self-worth during treatment.

Sessions may include short-term solution-focused strategies when a quick plan is helpful, or longer work for deeper change. The aim is to build skills that ease day-to-day life and increase confidence over time.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Olubukola uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and social fears because it breaks problems into manageable steps. She also uses client-centered therapy, which means sessions follow the client’s pace and priorities and focus on building a trusting, accepting conversation.

For trauma-related work she draws on trauma-focused strategies and EMDR to address distressing memories and reduce intense emotional reactions. These approaches aim to lessen the hold of painful memories so daily tasks and relationships feel easier to manage. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process - she will talk with each person about their goals, try approaches that match those goals, and adjust the plan as progress is tracked.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people see facial cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or work with lower bandwidth. Live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins, written reflections, and ongoing planning between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, school, or family routines without long commutes.
