About Frank

Frank Ogbonna uses a collaborative, evidence-informed approach rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients address stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges with self-esteem and motivation.

Background and approach

As a licensed professional counselor in Texas with five years of clinical experience, he emphasizes clients' strengths and personal knowledge of their own stories while offering practical skills to manage emotions and shift unhelpful patterns.

He frames therapy as a courageous step toward greater wellbeing and works to empower people navigating relationship difficulties, coping with life changes, or facing issues such as substance concerns, compulsive behaviors, guilt, and communication problems.

Frank draws on a variety of methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, DBT skills, and motivational interviewing to tailor interventions to each person's goals. He aims to create a supportive environment where clients feel heard and can practice new ways of responding to stressors.

Frank is licensed as an LPC in Texas (TX LPC 86870) and conducts sessions in English. He supports clients through a range of formats and focuses on helping them build sustainable coping strategies, clarify values, and move toward meaningful change.

Practical approaches and online access for meaningful change

Frank commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, which can reduce anxiety, lift mood, and improve day-to-day functioning. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify personal values and build willingness to experience difficult emotions while moving toward what matters most.

Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic process, and he works collaboratively with each person to tailor strategies to their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and adjust over time so work in sessions connects with real-life challenges and priorities.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits in his practice. Video calls let clients engage in face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions provide a convenient alternative when video is impractical, and live chat or text-based messaging supports shorter check-ins or ongoing skills practice between sessions. These options increase flexibility and make it easier to fit consistent therapeutic work into a busy schedule.
