About Faith Otobo
Faith Otobo is a licensed Christian counselor and LCSW practicing in New York with more than 10 years of clinical experience. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), she has advanced training to provide assessment and psychotherapy that address emotional, relational, and trauma-related concerns while integrating clients' faith when requested. She works with individuals and couples who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem difficulties, and she also offers support for issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and communication or commitment struggles.
Faith blends a faith-informed perspective with evidence-based techniques, tailoring each session to a person or couple's unique circumstances with respect and sensitivity. Her work emphasizes listening, helping clients explore purpose and healing through a biblical lens when that aligns with their values, and drawing on practical strategies to improve daily functioning and relationships. She maintains set hours Monday through Wednesday from 10am to 4pm and is highly responsive during that time. She is unavailable Thursdays through Sunday but checks messages and attempts to reply when she is able.
Throughout her practice, Faith seeks to create a collaborative space where spiritual and emotional well-being can be explored together and where clients are supported in finding meaningful, faith-aligned pathways forward.

Attachment, client-centered care, and CBT in online therapy
Faith Otobo combines several established approaches to meet diverse emotional and relational needs. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in early relationships and helps people understand how those patterns affect current bonds - it can be especially helpful for attachment issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and abandonment fears. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client's perspective guides the work - this approach supports self-esteem, communication problems, and situations where clients need empathy and validation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with chronic health challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Faith collaborates with each person to explore which methods best fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress evolves. This collaborative process helps ensure therapy feels relevant and effective for the individual's life.
Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access care from different locations. These options provide flexibility in how, when, and where people engage with licensed professionals and therapists, supporting consistent access to support for emotional and relational concerns.
