About Adekunle

Adekunle "Ade" Ojelade is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 30 years of experience. He lists stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, and coaching among his main concerns. Ade works with people who are coping with difficult life changes and the effects of past wounds.

Ade uses a practical, person-focused style. Sessions are grounded in conversation and active problem solving. He draws on client-centered listening to learn what matters most, then uses techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

He often combines cognitive behavioral techniques with skills from dialectical behavior therapy to help with emotion regulation and stressful situations. Mindfulness practices are used to build present-moment awareness and ease reactivity. For people with histories of trauma, he may include EMDR to address distress linked to specific memories.

Ade’s background includes long experience in social work and counseling across Europe and the United States. That experience informs a straightforward approach to recovery, relapse prevention, and life transitions. He also brings experience working with substance use concerns alongside mental health needs.

Many people come to him for help with attachment and abandonment worries, body image concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency, and relationship or communication problems. He lists support for divorce, separation, commitment difficulties, dissociation, and disruptive mood concerns among his focus areas.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial session so goals and next steps can be agreed on together.

How therapeutic approaches are used online

Ade blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral strategies to focus on current problems and practical change. Client-centered therapy means sessions begin with careful listening to the person's concerns and priorities, then shape goals from that starting point. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify and change thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety or depression going, which can be practiced between sessions.

He also uses mindfulness-based techniques to teach simple awareness and grounding skills. Mindfulness practices are short exercises you can use when stress or social anxiety rises. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process; the therapist and client decide together which approaches best match the client's needs and goals and adjust over time.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a busy life, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Those practical benefits often help people practice skills between meetings and keep therapy consistent with everyday routines.
