About Millicent

Millicent Odhiambo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with a decade of clinical experience. She focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, and self-esteem challenges, and also addresses related areas like attachment, body image, caregiver stress, and workplace struggles.

Background and approach

Her approach centers on respectful, sensitive, and compassionate care while tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person's specific situation. She blends evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and client-centered techniques to help clients explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that influence daily life.

Millicent works collaboratively to set goals, identify practical strategies, and strengthen coping skills that fit an individual's values and circumstances. She acknowledges the courage it takes to begin therapy and aims to make the initial steps into counseling welcoming and manageable for those who reach out.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Millicent uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns; this approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, panic symptoms, and workplace stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is also part of her practice and focuses on clarifying personal values and building psychological flexibility so people can act in ways that matter to them despite difficult feelings.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. She works with clients to explore which approaches align with their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and adapts the plan over time based on progress and feedback.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats permit scheduling that fits busy lives, ongoing support between live meetings, and the ability to engage from different locations, making it easier for many people to maintain consistent therapeutic work.
