About Adekunle

Adekunle "Ade" Ojelade is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida with 30 years of experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, depression, and midlife concerns. Ade focuses on hope and resilience, and he aims to guide people through difficult life transitions.

In sessions he listens first and helps clients set clear, practical goals. He uses everyday tools to manage overwhelming feelings and repeated patterns. Conversations move at a steady pace and are tailored to each person's needs and values.

Ade draws on approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Mindfulness Therapy. These methods provide different ways to address unhelpful thoughts, strong emotions, trauma memories, and ongoing stress.

He has worked in both Europe and the United States over three decades. That experience has informed a flexible style that blends practical coaching with therapeutic care. Ade encourages small, doable steps that add up to meaningful change.

People often seek him out for help with relationship patterns like attachment and codependency, life disruptions such as divorce or caregiving strain, and health-related stress including chronic illness or cancer. He invites prospective clients to consider what matters most to them and to begin with a straightforward conversation about goals and next steps.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Ade uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize each person's goals and perspectives. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people feel understood so they can decide next steps for change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another tool he uses to identify unhelpful thoughts and test them with practical experiments. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching skills to change thinking and behavior.

Mindfulness Therapy appears in his practice as a way to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Simple breathing and attention exercises help manage strong emotions and chronic stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, pace, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as needs change.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and the ability to fit sessions into a busy life. When session formats are not listed in a biography, confirm current options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it simpler to maintain continuity, handle brief check-ins, or work therapy into a workday without long commutes.
