Dr. Olufolake Ike ThD, LMFT

Dr. Olufolake Ike ThD helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strains, or big life changes. She offers calm, practical guidance in short, clear steps. Her style is direct but warm, aimed at helping someone feel steadier and more able to cope.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address patterns in close relationships, and Solution-Focused Therapy to set concrete goals and track progress. Sessions are aimed at small, manageable changes that add up over time.

Dr. Ike holds a Doctor of Theology degree and practices as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, credentialed in Texas as LMFT. Her background includes study in psychology, marriage and family therapy, and theology, which she weaves into her approach when clients want to include spiritual or cultural meaning in sessions.

Her practice pays attention to issues like codependency, communication problems, control issues, emptiness, and forgiveness. She also addresses intimacy concerns, sexual dysfunction, grief, trauma and abuse, and questions about life purpose and career direction.

Sessions can focus on short-term coaching goals or longer work on deeper patterns. She aims to create clear next steps after each meeting so people leave with something useful to try between sessions.

Online approaches that fit your life

Dr. Ike uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used to notice and shift how people relate to each other in close relationships, which can help with intimacy and recurring conflicts.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to match techniques to goals and preferences, and may combine methods as needs evolve. Clients and the therapist set clear, measurable goals together and review progress regularly.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls allow more visual connection, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
