About Faith Otobo

Faith Otobo is a licensed Christian counselor and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), bringing over 10 years of practice to her work in New York. She combines a faith-informed perspective with clinical skill to support individuals and couples navigating stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma, and challenges with self-esteem and depression. Her approach emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and tailoring interventions to each person’s unique background and goals, whether the focus is healing from past abuse, restoring connection, or finding renewed purpose.

Faith weaves spiritual values into psychotherapy when clients wish to integrate faith and emotional growth, offering a biblically attuned framework alongside evidence-based methods. As an LCSW, she has advanced training in clinical social work and practical experience helping clients explore patterns, build coping skills, and strengthen relationships. Her practice also attends to related concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, caregiver stress, body image, and grief.

Her stated hours are Monday through Wednesday from 10am to 4pm, and she is most responsive to messages during that window; she does not respond to messages on Thursdays through Sundays but checks messages when possible and aims to reply as she is able. Faith encourages those considering support to take the first step toward healing and connection.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Faith Otobo

Faith Otobo draws from attachment-based therapy, client-centered therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy to inform her online practice. Attachment-based therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns and helps clients improve connection and security in relationships, which can be useful for issues like abandonment, attachment concerns, and relationship conflict. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and a nonjudgmental stance, creating space for clients to lead the pace of their healing and to build self-understanding and esteem. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools to manage symptoms of anxiety, stress, and depression.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Faith works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and she adapts methods over time so the work aligns with the client’s needs and values. This collaborative stance helps ensure the therapeutic plan fits the individual rather than imposing a single method.

Online therapy with Faith can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from home or work, and integrate therapy into a busy life while working with licensed professionals and therapists who can tailor the experience to each client’s practical needs.
