About Faith

Faith Otobo is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in New York with a decade of clinical experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, and depression.

Background and approach

She combines evidence-informed therapies and a strengths-based attitude to help clients explore patterns, develop coping skills, and rebuild connections that matter to them. Her background includes work with a wide range of concerns such as attachment issues, abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and communication or commitment challenges.

In sessions she draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside attachment-focused and emotion-oriented approaches to tailor care to each person’s needs. Faith emphasizes collaboration and clear, practical strategies while attending to emotions and relational patterns that influence daily life.

She offers services in English and accepts international clients, using formats that fit different schedules and preferences so people can access ongoing support without uprooting their routines.

How Faith’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

Faith integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy into online work. CBT focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, and is useful for building concrete coping strategies. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns formed early in life and how they show up in present relationships, helping clients develop more supported ways of relating.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist partners with the client to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and will adapt methods over time so the work feels relevant and practical for the individual’s situation.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow therapy to fit into different schedules and lifestyles. These options make it easier to receive consistent support from a licensed professional without commuting, and they give clients flexibility to continue work during life transitions or when in-person visits are challenging.
