He aims to make the work feel manageable rather than overwhelming.
Background and approach
Ajibola uses straightforward tools to address mood, coping, and behavior. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thinking and shift patterns. He also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on what matters most to the client.
When addiction or motivation is a concern he brings Motivational Interviewing into the conversation. For deeper patterns and parts of self, he uses Internal Family Systems ideas to map how different parts influence behavior. These methods are mixed to fit each person's needs.
Sessions cover practical steps for coping with life changes, managing cravings, improving communication, and handling intense emotions. He aims for a collaborative approach where the client sets goals and he helps plan the steps. Signing up starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on availability.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the client says, allowing sessions to follow the concerns the person brings up. This approach helps people who need a supportive space to talk through feelings and make their own decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing stress through practical exercises and short homework tasks that can be done between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. This may mean combining listening-based work with CBT tools or motivational techniques depending on what a client needs.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can be a quick check-in, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options give flexibility for different days and tasks while keeping the focus on practical steps and progress.
