About Ngozi
Dr. Ngozi Okose is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 22 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, addictions, grief, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, and career transitions.
She combines practical, evidence-based methods in conversation rather than jargon. Sessions focus on clear goals, skills practice, and decisions that fit daily life. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered approaches to address thoughts, emotions, and behavior patterns.
Her background includes teaching and supervising counselors in higher education and more than a decade of private practice in Houston, Texas. Training highlights include work with the Beck Institute on CBT, post-doctoral clinical assessment studies, and tele-behavioral health coursework. This mix informs a straightforward style that emphasizes learning useful skills and making steady changes.
Dr. Okose brings long experience with culturally diverse and immigrant communities from Latin America, the Caribbean, and West Africa. That experience shapes how she talks about family roles, cultural expectations, and adjustment after big life changes.
Her practice uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients use the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and choosing values-based action. It can help with anger by clarifying what matters and building small steps toward different responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT provides concrete tools for recognizing triggers, testing unhelpful thoughts, and practicing new reactions that reduce reactive outbursts.Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will work with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress continues, so sessions can shift toward skills practice, emotional processing, or communication work as needed.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people choose whether to use video or other formats depending on bandwidth and comfort. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to teach breathing and grounding exercises, role-play boundary conversations, and assign brief between-session practice that fits daily life.
