About Adekunle
Adekunle "Ade" Ojelade is a Florida LCSW with 30 years of experience. He works with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, and coaching concerns. Ade also pays attention to issues like abandonment, attachment struggles, body image, and caregiver stress.
He meets people where their lives are and keeps conversations direct. Sessions focus on practical coping skills, clearer thinking, and steps people can use between meetings. Ade uses straightforward tools rather than jargon, and he talks through patterns that keep guilt or shame active in daily life.
His approach blends client-centered conversation with evidence-based methods. That means listening for what matters most, then suggesting ways to test new behaviors and thoughts. Techniques may include thinking-based exercises, emotion regulation skills, and mindful attention to feelings as they arise.
Ade has worked in both Europe and the United States across clinical and counseling settings. Over three decades he has supported people dealing with addiction, trauma, chronic illness, and relationship strain. He draws on that experience when helping people sort guilt, shame, or ongoing worry about past choices.
Sessions are practical and goal-focused while keeping the client in charge of pace. He encourages small experiments that let people try different responses to hard emotions. Before booking, confirm current session options and how sessions are scheduled through the platform.
How therapeutic methods fit into online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people clarify their goals. It centers the client's concerns and works from their priorities, which can help when guilt or shame feels overwhelming.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts that keep painful feelings alive and teaches practical exercises to test and change those thoughts. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and guilt tied to thinking patterns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can be useful when guilt or shame triggers intense reactions or difficulties in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss methods and decide together with the client which techniques to try based on needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative choice can change over time as progress and obstacles become clearer.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not listed here. Ask about the specific online options offered and which best fit your schedule. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into work or caregiving days, make shorter check-ins possible, or reduce travel time. Discuss practical arrangements during scheduling so sessions align with daily life.
