About Ngozi
Her practice centers on practical, conversational work. She treats stress, anxiety, grief, depression, bipolar concerns, and challenges tied to relationships and intimacy. She also helps people facing job strain, parental stress, compassion fatigue, identity questions related to LGBT concerns, and life transitions that feel overwhelming.
Ngozi draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns and try new responses. She uses Narrative Therapy to reshape the stories people tell themselves and Solution-Focused ideas to spot immediate, achievable steps forward. Trauma-Focused Therapy informs her approach when trauma and abuse are part of the picture.
Sessions aim to be straightforward. People work on coping skills, values-based goals, and clearer communication. She also addresses specific areas like abandonment, body image, infidelity, and work-life balance as they come up.
Her style is collaborative and strengths-based. Clients are invited to name goals and test what helps in day-to-day life. The work is paced to match each person’s needs and rhythms.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small actions that match those values. It focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that move a person toward a more meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe and rewrite the stories they tell about themselves to open up new choices.Finding the right method is part of the process. She will work together with each person to choose the approach or mix of approaches that fits their goals and daily life. That collaborative process includes checking what feels useful and adjusting methods over time.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people try tools and exercises between sessions and practice skills in their normal routines.
