About Ohiro

Dr. Ohiro Oni-Eseleh is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 32 years of practice in New York. He draws on Narrative approaches alongside other therapies to help people sort through relationship and life stress.

He brings a hopeful, respectful stance and focuses on practical change. He uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. That work often ties into Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered methods to clarify values and guide next steps.

Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical approaches are available when people need skills for mood, anxiety, or emotion regulation. Oni-Eseleh has helped people address grief, depression, anxiety, and stress tied to life changes. He also supports those facing relationship strain, intimacy-related difficulties, parenting concerns, and career uncertainty.

He pays attention to how culture, immigration, prejudice, and discrimination shape life experience. He also brings experience with aging and caregiver issues, compassion fatigue, and forgiveness work. That background informs his approach when clients are balancing caregiving duties or midlife transitions.

Practical problem solving and clearer goals are frequent parts of sessions. Sessions are guided by the person’s needs and preferences. He emphasizes collaboration, respect, and helping people notice changes they can build on.

He does not accept cases involving pending litigation or the potential of one.

Online session options

Using Narrative and Acceptance-based Tools Online

Narrative Therapy helps people look at the stories they tell themselves and try out different ways of understanding their lives. That can be useful when someone feels stuck in a role or label and wants to open up new possibilities. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, value-driven steps even when emotions are hard to tolerate; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether Narrative, ACT, client-centered listening, or skills-focused CBT or DBT techniques fit best. Goals, preferences, and daily realities all guide those choices so the plan fits the person’s life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation. Phone calls can work when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill reminders, or when someone needs flexibility during a busy day. These options make it easier to schedule consistent work and bring therapy into everyday routines.
