CHIOMA AFULEZI, LCSW — Therapist in Texas

Hi there, I'm CHIOMA!

I am committed to a collaborative approach with clients to work towards identifying and changing troubling emotions, thoughts, and behaviors.

My focus

My approach to counseling is most beneficial to couples and adults facing difficulties within their relationships, work-life balance, and stress. My clients and I work together to navigate through these challenges and reshape negative thoughts and feelings.

My approach

My most commonly used theoretical approach is CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) as it is one of the most effective modalities that focuses on our thoughts, emotions, and actions.

My communication style

My communication style is calm, reassuring, and patient-centered. The most important thing I want my clients to feel when working with me is safe. I want every client to come out of each session knowing that their thoughts and feelings matter.

My journey to mental healthcare

I enjoy being able to see someone transform into a healthier person due to their dedication to improving their mental health. I also get fulfillment from meeting new people and learning new things from each client.

My goals for you

Goal setting is the drive that keeps us going. Having goals keeps clients motivated as it holds both of us accountable for our purpose.

Our first session

The first session is introductory as I ask questions to better understand the motivation for seeking counseling and ensure we are both a fit for each other. It is also important during the first visit to set expectations and build a connection.
