About Ijeoma
Ijeoma Onyejiaka is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, and relationship concerns. She also supports those coping with grief, parenting strain, career challenges, bipolar mood shifts, and issues around identity and intimacy. Sessions are offered in English and Igbo.
She uses a narrative-informed approach that helps people untangle the stories they tell about themselves. That work is paired with practical methods from acceptance and cognitive behavioral approaches to change unhelpful habits and reduce distress.
Background and approach
The goal is steady progress through small, doable steps. Her style is collaborative and person-centered. She listens for how family history, culture, faith, and life events shape current struggles.
Then she helps clients test new behaviors and ways of thinking that fit their values and daily life. Ijeoma draws on about 11 years of clinical experience as an LPC. She blends talk-based work with focused exercises aimed at improving emotion regulation, communication, and coping skills.
Sessions often include goal-setting and concrete practice between meetings. Practical concerns like sleep, eating patterns, and work-life balance are part of the conversation. She also addresses burnout, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges, and attachment difficulties.
People can expect straightforward guidance and a plan that matches their priorities.

Online session options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that align with what matters most. It can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Narrative therapy focuses on the stories people carry about themselves and others; sessions look for alternative narratives that free up new choices and behaviors. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships affect current connections and emotional responses, which can improve intimacy and stress responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist uses an initial conversation to learn about goals, needs, and preferences, then suggests a mix of methods. Clients and the therapist check in regularly and adjust the plan so the work feels useful and practical.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different situations. Video is useful for deeper therapeutic work and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for walking-and-talking check-ins. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, coping strategies between sessions, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options give flexibility for scheduling, follow-up, and practicing skills between appointments.
