More about me

Licensing: PhD, LCSW Years in Practice: 29 State: New York

I am Ohiro Oni-Eseleh and I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the State of New York for 29 years. I hold a Ph.D from Adelphi University School of Social Work and have extensive experience working with individuals, couples, families and groups in a variety of settings to address a wide range of issues successfully. The focus of my work includes helping people deal with stressors associated with relationship, social adjustment, marital issues, depression, racism, discrimination and immigration. I also work with organizations and individuals to achieve maximum organizational and occupational functioning particularly around issues of diversity, equity and inclusion. In addition, I help individuals explore and attain clearer career perspectives. I approach my work believing that in each of us lies the ability to attain much of the transformative changes that we seek - and I have seen that come to light over and over through the years. Therefore, I bring a well-rounded focus to my work that includes a tremendous amount of respect and hope for each person that I work with. I look forward to an engaging work together.

PLEASE NOTE: I do not accept cases involving pending litigation or the potential of one.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

Ohiro is an amazingly kind, gentle, and patient person. He has helped me cope and start to overcome some very severe trauma, and it has made living with trauma manageable even when actively in the midst of crisis. His interactions are helpful as they can be thought provoking and help see an angle where you might be stuck in a rut mentally that just helps you see the situation for what it is. I feel like much of this review is just describing a therapist doing their job really well, and I absolutely feel like Ohiro is an excellent therapist. Something unique about Ohiro is the fact that he has many anecdotes for situations, and is able to relate often bringing other stories to add perspective. Often it can feel like experiencing trauma is a unique experience that no one could understand unless they lived it. Being able to hear real stories of events happening outside my life help me to realize that much of my trauma doesn't need to just be held deep down inside. Ohiro helps you to not feel alone in your struggle, and to recognize that there are others out there who have also experienced the same painful feelings. Knowing that the Universe didn't just selectively choose me to dump its problems on has helped me get the perspective I needed, and start to deal with overwhelming feelings in a manageable mindset.

I couldn't be more happy and grateful to have worked with Dr. Oni-Eseleh over the year. He has helped me through multiple personal challenges, including familial and romantic relationships. He has help to guide me through the process of self-reflection, overcoming and healing. I'd recommend him to anyone looking for insightful guidance, wise advice and empathetic feedback through the life challenges that burden us and those looking to harness the best and strongest version of themselves.

I am grateful to work with Dr. Oni-Eseleh. I wish I had started working with him earlier. I appreciate his being able to provide fresh. Prospective on whatever we’re discussing and providing me more information from academia, to help me navigate my situation. I am also glad to have a counselor with whom I can openly discuss faith.

Overall

Dr Ohiro has helped me figure out and solve a problem I’d wrestled with for 7 years, in one session. Dealing with the fallout will take more time obviously. I appreciate Dr Ohiro switching dynamics where needed (more exploratory when getting into the problem, more firm when setting concrete goals). Kind of like talking to a wise owl reincarnated as a Buddhist monk. Two thumbs up
