    About Ajibola

    Ajibola Obajimi is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) in Illinois who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, anger, and addictions. He supports those coping with trauma and abuse, mood shifts, and life changes. He works in English and Yoruba and brings a direct, respectful approach to sessions.

    Ajibola centers sessions on each person's strengths and choices. He treats clients as the experts in their own lives and helps them decide on workable steps forward. Conversations are collaborative and practical. He emphasizes listening first, then trying small changes that fit daily life.

    His approach draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation focused on the person's experience. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and Internal Family Systems ideas to map parts of the inner life when that helps.

    Ajibola has four years of professional experience working with addiction concerns including drug and alcohol issues and process addictions. He also works with multicultural concerns and paranoia when they come up in sessions. He encourages clear goals and regular check-ins to track progress.

    People who choose Ajibola can expect a straightforward, respectful style. He supports international clients and asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire before scheduling. He invites anyone feeling stuck to take the first step toward change.

  2. How his approaches translate to online therapy

    Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify why change matters to them and build motivation in small steps. It focuses on the client's own reasons and readiness, which can be helpful for addictions and behavior change. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the conversation focused on the person's experience and values, using listening and reflection to guide the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and actions together to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood and introduces practical exercises to try between sessions.

    Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which combination of methods fits their goals and preferences. Sessions can shift over time as needs change, and Ajibola checks in to make sure the plan still feels useful.

    Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Many people find that online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, saves travel time, and allows shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let someone continue work with the same licensed professional even when life circumstances change.
