About Asuqwo
Asuqwo Ekene is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of experience in mental health care. He has worked across the lifespan and helps people navigate common struggles like anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes. He also focuses on men's issues and concerns around isolation and multicultural stressors.
He creates an empathetic and nonjudgmental space where clients can speak openly. Sessions begin by talking about what brought someone in and what they hope to achieve. From there he shapes a plan that fits the person's goals and day-to-day life.
Asuqwo uses client-centered therapy to follow the client's lead and build trust. He draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to notice patterns in thoughts and behaviors and to practice practical skills. He also uses solution-focused ideas to set clear, achievable goals and track progress.
People come for many concerns including relationship strain, parenting stress, anger, career pressures, trauma, and compassion fatigue. He pays attention to cultural context and the effects of prejudice and discrimination on mental health. That background helps him tailor sessions to each person's identity and experience.
During early sessions he emphasizes what is most important to the client and makes small, concrete steps for change. He aims to help people feel more able to cope, connect, and move forward in daily life.
How his approaches fit with online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's pace. It helps people feel heard and understood and is useful when someone needs space to sort through feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy aims for small, concrete steps and clearly stated goals to create momentum.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has worked before. Together they will decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed based on how the work goes.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and keep continuity when schedules change. It can reduce travel time and make follow-up or brief check-ins simpler. Confirm the session formats available before booking so you know which options are offered and how to schedule sessions that match your routine.
