About Ajibola

Ajibola Obajimi is a licensed clinician offering help for stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, addictions, family difficulties, self-esteem struggles, depression, and coping with life changes.

Background and approach

With an emphasis on substance-related and process addictions as well as mood and multicultural concerns, he draws on practical strategies to support clients facing complex emotional and behavioral challenges. He practices from a strengths-based perspective that centers the client as the expert in their own life.

Ajibola blends Internal Family Systems with Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to tailor interventions to each person’s needs. Over four years of professional work in Illinois have shaped his approach to be collaborative, respectful, and focused on building on existing resources.

Fluent in English and Yoruba, Ajibola accepts international clients and works with people navigating family problems, post-traumatic stress, paranoia, and recovery from drug or alcohol concerns. He encourages those taking the first step toward support and helps clients create practical plans for change while honoring their values and lived experience.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Internal Family Systems helps clients notice and dialogue with different parts of themselves to reduce internal conflict and increase self-compassion; it can be useful for trauma responses, anxiety, and patterns that feel driven by competing inner voices. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an accepting, nonjudgmental relationship where the client’s perspective guides the pace and goals of work; this approach supports self-exploration and emotional processing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and can be especially helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping skills development.

Finding the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and the specific issues they bring, adjusting the approach as progress unfolds and new needs arise.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and levels of comfort. These formats allow for consistent access to care across distances and time zones, make it easier to maintain momentum between appointments, and support clients who need adaptable ways to engage in therapy.
