About Andrew

Andrew Oshobu is a Texas-based LCSW who supports people working through stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, self-esteem struggles, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

He emphasizes exploration of life purpose and self-compassion while attending to related difficulties such as attachment and abandonment concerns, control and communication problems, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and eating-related issues. Drawing on three years of clinical experience, he blends culturally responsive care with practical strategies to help clients navigate complex emotional challenges.

His therapeutic stance is warm and client-centered, aiming to build resilience and foster personal growth through collaborative work. He integrates Internal Family Systems ideas alongside evidence-based approaches like ACT, CBT, and DBT to tailor interventions to each person’s needs.

This combination supports processing painful experiences, reducing symptoms, and strengthening everyday coping skills. Andrew seeks to create a thoughtful, respectful space where people can confront guilt, shame, forgiveness issues, and transitions such as divorce or changes in fatherhood roles while attending to multicultural and men’s concerns.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Internal Family Systems helps clients gently explore inner parts or subpersonalities to understand conflicting thoughts and emotions; it is useful for trauma, shame, and complex internal experiences. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and focuses on values-driven action to address anxiety, depression, and life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaboration so clients can lead the pace of their healing and build self-compassion.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the therapeutic process rather than a one-time choice. The therapist will collaborate with each person to assess goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, adjusting methods over time to match evolving needs and priorities.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility for busy schedules or those in different parts of Texas. These formats allow consistent work on coping skills, emotional processing, and values-guided changes while accommodating practical constraints like work and family commitments.
