About Ramata

Ramata Adebawo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Oregon who focuses on a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting, self-esteem, career challenges, addictions, LGBT issues, relationships, family dynamics, grief, intimacy-related concerns, anger, depression, and coping with life changes.

Background and approach

She also pays attention to caregiver stress, forgiveness, immigration-related struggles, midlife transitions, multicultural challenges, post-traumatic stress, prejudice and discrimination, women's issues, and young adult concerns. Ramata brings seven years of clinical experience and a lifelong personal perspective on cultural diversity to her practice.

Her therapeutic stance is warm, empathetic, and client-centered, emphasizing collaboration and respect for each person’s background. She blends cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with attachment-informed and client-focused methods, drawing on strategies from DBT, EFT, motivational interviewing, and other evidence-informed approaches to tailor treatment plans to individual needs.

Ramata describes her role as partner and advocate, working alongside clients to identify strengths and build practical skills for change. Fluent in English and Lingala, she has developed cultural competency through lived experience and professional work in diverse communities.

Prospective clients in Oregon can expect thoughtful, strengths-based care aimed at helping them navigate current difficulties while honoring their cultural context and personal goals.

How evidence-informed approaches translate to online therapy

Ramata frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; CBT can be especially practical for addressing anxiety, depression, and stress through structured skills and homework. She also incorporates attachment-based ideas that explore how early relationships influence current patterns, which can be useful for improving intimacy-related concerns, relationship difficulties, and emotional regulation.

Choosing the best approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to assess goals, preferences, and life context, then adapts methods over time so treatment remains relevant and responsive to progress and changing needs.

Online sessions are offered through flexible formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules or for those with mobility or location constraints. These options allow for consistent contact, skill practice between sessions, and different ways to communicate depending on comfort and the work being done.
