Adekunle "Ade" Ojelade, LCSW

Adekunle "Ade" Ojelade is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Florida. He offers support for stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, and coaching. Ade approaches work with a focus on thoughts and everyday habits to help people find steadier ground.

He uses a practical, hopeful style in sessions. Ade listens first to understand what matters most. Then he and the person set clear, manageable steps to change thinking patterns and daily routines that get in the way of feeling better.

Ade draws on roughly 30 years of experience in social work and counseling across the United States and Europe. That background informs how he blends different ways of working to meet individual needs. He emphasizes resilience and practical problem solving rather than labels or jargon.

In therapy he may use approaches such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness practices, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. He also has experience with trauma-focused methods when that is needed. Sessions tend to focus on concrete habits, coping skills, and small changes that add up over time.

People often come for help with relationship patterns like attachment or abandonment concerns, for support after separation, or for coping with chronic illness and caregiver stress. Ade aims to be a steady partner in making real-life adjustments that fit each person’s goals and daily life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and helping people set their own goals. In online sessions this looks like the therapist reflecting concerns, asking about what matters, and working with the person to prioritize next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, targets thoughts and everyday habits. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking, trying small behavioral experiments, and building routines that reduce symptoms such as anxiety or low mood. Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills are practiced in-session and then applied to everyday situations between meetings.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That decision is revisited over time as needs change.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and support consistent practice of skills learned in sessions. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises and homework so they work in real-life settings, helping people change thoughts and habits where it matters most.
