About Asuqwo
Asuqwo Ekene is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with eight years of experience in mental health care. He works with adults facing common life pressures and emotional difficulties. His areas include stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and issues common to young adulthood such as identity, career starts, and feeling behind.
He has experience supporting people through grief and major life changes. He also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, anger, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include isolation and loneliness, men's issues, multicultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination, and building self-love.
Asuqwo uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person's perspective and goals. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help change unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy is used when clients want short-term, goal-oriented work to make practical changes.
In the first session he begins by talking through what brought the person to therapy and what they want from sessions. Conversations are straightforward and goal-focused. He works to understand cultural background and how it shapes the problems a person faces.
People who benefit tend to want practical strategies along with time to process emotions. Sessions aim to combine realistic steps and personal reflection. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How Asuqwo uses common approaches in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the person's point of view and goals. Online sessions using this approach emphasize listening, reflecting what the person says, and helping them set their own priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and offers practical tools to change patterns that cause distress. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on clear, short-term goals and steps to move toward them rather than dwelling on problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can change over time as sessions progress and priorities shift.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commute time. It also makes it simpler to continue weekly progress when study, work, or life changes make in-person visits harder.
