Hello, My name is Dr. Clement Osakue. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Claremont CA and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I have over 20 years of clinical practice in the state of California working with children, adults, couples, and families.
My approach
My approach to working with clients is based on individual needs, life circumstances, and areas of concern they are seeking to address. Some of the clinical interventions I utilize include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Interpersonal Relational Therapy, and Family System approach.
My focus
I work with client populations that include children, young adults, older adults, couples, and families from various backgrounds and diverse life experiences. The majority of my clients often are seeking help with healing and understanding issues related to depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, behavioral issues, relationship issues, and stage of life issues.
My communication style
Psychotherapy often has the best outcome when there is a good match with the client/therapist in relation to trust, understanding, and working collaboratively in achieving the desired goal. My goal is always to provide a safe and comfortable environment for my clients to engage in the therapeutic process by seeking active participation, providing clarity to factors impacting current problems, and developing a collaborative action plan to address the problem areas.
My goals for you
Using a collaborative approach, the client and I develop therapeutic goals that outline a therapeutic approach to address problem areas, reasonable expectations, and responsibilities required to achieve desired goals.
My first session with you
The first session is referred to as the intake/assessment session which provides an opportunity for the client to describe the reason they are seeking therapy, discuss the history of the problem areas, and the therapist providing an analysis of the problem areas and treatment recommendations.
