About Ijeoma

Ijeoma Onyejiaka is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who brings 11 years of clinical experience to her psychotherapy practice.

Background and approach

She works with people facing a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family difficulties, grief, self-esteem and intimacy-related issues.

Her background also includes work with eating and sleeping problems, parenting and caregiver stress, career and life transitions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and related areas such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment issues, and codependency. Her approach blends structured, evidence-informed methods with a relational, client-centered style.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) inform much of her work, alongside attachment-based and emotionally focused interventions that attend to interpersonal patterns. Sessions emphasize collaboration, cultural responsiveness, and practical skill building to strengthen emotional regulation, communication, and coping strategies.

Fluent in English and Igbo, she offers multiple remote formats and accepts international clients. Ijeoma holds Texas licensure as LPC (TX LPC 72670) and aims to help clients find clearer direction, resilience, and more sustainable ways of managing distress and relationship challenges.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options

She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into remote work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress, while ACT helps clients clarify personal values and take committed actions even in the presence of difficult thoughts or emotions. Attachment-Based Therapy is also used to explore relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current relational and emotional difficulties, which can be especially helpful for couples and family concerns.

Deciding on an approach is collaborative; the therapist will work with each client to determine which methods best fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and may combine elements from different models as appropriate. This collaborative process helps ensure the plan aligns with what the client wants to achieve.

Online therapy with this practitioner is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. Remote sessions make it easier to maintain continuity during life transitions and provide access for international clients and those who prefer virtual care, while still focusing on building skills, improving relationships, and addressing trauma or mood-related concerns.
