My name is Arleshia Okoli. I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Houston, Texas, And working with clients statewide via Telehealth. In my practice, I emphasize a holistic, culturally sensitive approach to therapy and mindfulness practices that help clients meet the goals they set.
My approach
In my therapy practice, I draw from several theoretical approaches depending on the needs and preferences of the client. The most commonly used practices are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy. My approach is integrative, meaning I tailor therapy to each client's unique needs, preferences, and goals. I collaborate closely with clients to create a supportive and trusting therapeutic relationship where they feel empowered to explore, heal, and grow.
My focus
I work with adults, adolescents, couples, and families facing a variety of challenges such as anxiety disorders, depression, relationship issues, trauma, grief, life transitions, and stress management. I am comfortable with a wide range of conditions and life difficulties, employing a personalized approach that integrates cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and psychodynamic insights to support clients in achieving their therapeutic goals.
My communication style
In my therapy sessions, I strive to create a warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental environment where clients feel safe to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I approach therapy with a genuine curiosity and respect for each client's unique journey and perspective. Clients often describe working with me as collaborative and supportive. I actively listen to their concerns, validate their experiences, and offer insights and strategies tailored to their individual needs and goals. I aim to foster a therapeutic relationship characterized by trust, openness, and mutual respect, where clients feel empowered to address challenges, gain self-awareness, and make positive changes in their lives.
My journey to mental healthcare
My journey in therapy has been guided by a commitment to empowering individuals and promoting their psychological health and resilience. It's a privilege to walk alongside clients as they navigate their personal journeys toward greater self-awareness, healing, and fulfillment.
My goals for you
My approach to goal setting emphasizes collaboration, empowerment, and flexibility, ensuring that goals are meaningful to the client and that therapy is focused on achieving tangible outcomes that enhance their well-being and growth.
My first session with you
The first session is focused on establishing a foundation for our therapeutic work together. It’s a time for clients to share their stories, identify their goals for therapy, and begin to feel comfortable and supported in their journey towards healing and growth.
