About Olufemi
Olufemi Olugbemiro, LISW, is a licensed independent social worker in Ohio with four years of clinical experience. He helps young adults and others manage stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, trauma and abuse, and major life changes. He speaks English, Hausa, and Yoruba and works with people facing a wide range of personal and relational challenges.
Olufemi focuses on practical conversation and steady support during sessions. He aims to listen closely, reflect what matters, and help people notice patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions often include talking through recent events, learning small skills to cope with intense feelings, and trying out different ways to respond to stressors.
He is comfortable addressing family-related issues such as blended family dynamics, fatherhood questions, divorce and separation, and communication problems. He also works with concerns like codependency, substance use, gender dysphoria, immigration difficulties, and feelings of isolation or emptiness. The emphasis is on clear steps people can try between appointments.
People can expect a collaborative tone that focuses on concrete next steps rather than abstract theories. Olufemi uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions but keeps language simple and direct. He helps people set short-term goals and checks in on progress each visit.

How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used to focus on specific symptoms and behaviors. One common approach is cognitive-focused work that helps people notice thought patterns that increase anxiety or low mood, and then practice alternative ways of thinking and responding. This can be useful for worry, exam or job stress, and low self-esteem.Another frequent technique is skills-based coping work that teaches short strategies for managing intense emotions, grounding during flashbacks, and improving daily routines. These tools are practical for sleep problems, panic, and getting through big life transitions like leaving home or changing jobs.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review what you bring to sessions, try methods that make sense for your goals, and check in about how things are going. Adjustments are made based on your feedback and what helps in day-to-day life.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking.

Other practical benefits include shorter check-ins when needed and options that do not require being on camera, which can help on busy days.
