Ajibola Obajimi, LCPC

Ajibola Obajimi is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with four years of professional experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. He works in English and Yoruba and accepts international clients.

Ajibola's approach centers on treating the person, not just the problem. He uses client-centered methods to listen and reflect back what matters most. He also brings Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that feed anger and anxiety.

Motivational Interviewing is part of his toolbox when people want practical change, especially around drug and alcohol addiction or process addictions. Internal Family Systems ideas help map different inner parts that show up during stress, conflict, or grief. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings.

In sessions he treats clients as the expert on their own life and looks for existing strengths to build on. He encourages small, manageable goals - like brief breathing practices, tracking triggers, or testing different responses to a tense interaction. Progress is measured by changes people notice in daily life.

People who book a first session can expect a straightforward conversation about current struggles, goals, and what methods feel workable. He asks about background and any substance use when relevant, then outlines a clear plan for the next steps.
