About Ngozi
Dr. Ngozi Okose is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 22 years of clinical experience. She brings a narrative-informed approach to help people reframe difficult life stories and find new ways forward.
Her manner is calm and direct, and she focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, ADHD, addictions, grief, and relationship or intimacy-related issues.
Background and approach
She also supports people facing parenting strain, sleep and eating problems, career stress, and challenges related to caregiving and chronic illness. Dr. Okose pays attention to how culture and life history shape each person's story.
Her style blends Narrative Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive-behavioral techniques. She also draws on attachment-based and client-centered ideas when they fit a person's needs. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps and on noticing patterns that keep problems going.
Clients report straightforward guidance on coping skills, communication, and decision-making. She tailors methods to each person's situation rather than using a single fixed plan. Her work often includes coping strategies for anger, codependency issues, and life transitions.
Dr. Okose offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Online session options
How narrative and action-oriented approaches work online
Dr. Okose combines Narrative Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-informed ideas to help people reshape their stories and take meaningful steps. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships, helping them separate problems from identity so they can try new ways of living. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical exercises to notice difficult thoughts and emotions, pick personal values, and act in ways that matter despite discomfort. Attachment-based ideas look at patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect trust, communication, and emotion regulation.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan as needed. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay useful and aligned with what they want to achieve.
Online therapy offers a range of practical benefits. Video calls let people work face-to-face when that helps build connection. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, homework support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around daily life and to keep momentum between sessions.
