Adekunle "Ade" Ojelade, LCSW

Adekunle "Ade" Ojelade is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Florida who focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, and coaching. He draws on three decades of experience to help people navigate hard changes and rebuild day-to-day coping. Ade speaks English and works with people from diverse backgrounds, including international clients.

In sessions he aims to create a calm, practical space where people can talk through weighty concerns. He uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s pace. He blends cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and DBT skills for better emotion regulation.

Ade also works with trauma-related symptoms and uses eye movement desensitization and reprocessing to address distress tied to difficult memories. Mindfulness practices are woven in to help reduce rumination and anchor attention in the present. He frames these tools as options to try rather than fixed prescriptions.

His approach emphasizes hope and resilience. He helps people set small, achievable goals and builds on strengths they already have. Practical skills, clear feedback, and collaborative planning are common parts of a typical session.

With 30 years in social work and counseling across the U.S. and Europe, Ade brings long experience with addiction and life transitions. He invites people to start with a short questionnaire to match needs, then schedule sessions based on availability.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following a person’s lead. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist and client set the pace, build trust, and prioritize the topics that matter most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice patterns of thought and behavior and try small experiments to change them. In an online setting CBT often includes homework, thought records, and clear step-by-step plans to practice between meetings. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to reduce distress tied to painful memories by pairing focused attention with guided processing; elements of EMDR can be adapted to remote work depending on the person’s needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first, based on their goals and current needs. That plan can change as progress is made or new priorities appear.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep regular appointments, schedule brief check-ins, or use a mix of longer and shorter sessions. Confirm the specific session options available with the therapist before booking to ensure they match your schedule and preferences.
