Faith Otobo, LCSW

Faith Otobo is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York with ten years of practice. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma, low self-esteem, and depression. Faith takes a respectful, person-focused approach and listens first to understand each person's situation.

Her background blends relational and skills-based therapies to address tough moments. She draws on attachment work to look at how past bonds shape current relationships. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thinking and build practical coping skills.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to match each person’s goals. Conversations may include exploring relationship patterns, practicing new communication skills, or trying mindfulness exercises to calm the nervous system. The focus is on useful steps people can take between sessions.

Faith has worked with concerns such as abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, attachment difficulties, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, commitment worries, and communication problems. She also supports people dealing with divorce or separation, emptiness, fertility challenges, forgiveness, guilt, and shame.

People often come for help during major life changes, including midlife transitions. Faith aims to make the process manageable by breaking problems into clear, solvable parts and helping clients build the skills they need going forward.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds affect current relationships. It helps people recognize patterns that lead to hurt or distance and learn new ways of relating that feel safer and more connected.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own experience. The therapist listens without judgment, reflects what is heard, and helps people find their own solutions and strengths for handling stress and life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Faith will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.

If you want online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to work with a licensed professional in New York from different places, while tailoring each session to practical concerns like time and comfort.
