About Ramata Adebawo

Ramata Adebawo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Oregon who brings a deep appreciation for cultural diversity to her clinical work. Her perspective was shaped by growing up abroad and moving to the United States, experiences that encouraged her to notice both common ground and meaningful differences in the human experience. This background informs her commitment to working respectfully with people from varied cultural, religious, and life contexts and to amplifying the voices of those who feel unheard.

She approaches therapy with compassion, empathy, and a client-centered focus, collaborating with individuals as partners in the healing process. Her clinical style blends strengths-based thinking, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and solution-focused strategies to create individualized treatment plans that address each person’s specific needs. Ramata emphasizes sensitivity to the unique circumstances of each client and aims to be both advocate and ally in navigating life challenges.

Her practice addresses a broad range of concerns, including relationship difficulties, grief, anger management, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, discrimination, stress, and issues related to immigration and refugee experiences. She also has experience with adoption and foster care dynamics and with supporting caregivers. Ramata is grateful for the opportunity to support people through change and recovery and to work collaboratively toward clearer, more manageable paths forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Ramata frequently draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an empathic, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports personal insight and self-directed growth - it is useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and navigating life transitions. CBT involves identifying and adjusting patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress; it is often applied to anxiety, depression, and problem-solving around specific challenges. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) when clients need practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, or developing distress tolerance.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Ramata works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors strategies over time, drawing on different techniques as the work evolves.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - provide flexibility for clients balancing work, family, or caregiving responsibilities. These formats make it possible to access licensed professionals from different locations and to maintain continuity of care when schedules or circumstances change, while preserving the therapeutic focus on progress and practical coping skills.
