Faith Otobo , LCSW

Faith Otobo is a licensed Christian counselor and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York, bringing 10 years of clinical experience to her work with individuals and couples. She combines faith-informed perspectives with evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients address stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, and depression. Her practice also attends to related issues such as attachment and abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, communication and control issues, and the emotional impacts of divorce, fertility struggles, guilt, and shame.

Faith emphasizes a respectful, sensitive approach that honors each person’s background and beliefs while tailoring sessions to individual needs. She draws on attachment-based ideas to understand relational patterns, client-centered principles to prioritize the person’s experience, and practical tools from cognitive behavioral and emotion-focused work to build coping skills and emotional insight. This blend allows her to support both short-term coping and deeper relational healing.

Her stated availability is Monday through Wednesday from 10 am to 4 pm, and she notes she is attentive to messages during those work hours while being unavailable Thursdays through Sunday. Faith frames therapy as a collaborative process that seeks purpose, healing, and growth through both spiritual and psychological resources.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Faith Otobo

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and emotional responses. It helps clients explore connection, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues so they can form healthier bonds and feel more secure in relationships.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own experience, offering a supportive environment where the therapist follows the client’s lead. This approach is useful for building self-esteem, processing grief or emptiness, and clarifying personal values and goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing new skills to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. It offers practical strategies for coping with stress, managing mood, and changing patterns that interfere with daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Faith collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Faith includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making appointments more flexible around work, caregiving, or geographic limits. These options allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent, accessible care that can fit into busy schedules and accommodate different communication styles.
