About Adekunle
Adekunle "Ade" Ojelade is a Florida LCSW with 30 years of experience. He works with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, and offers coaching support. He also addresses codependency, attachment and abandonment concerns, and related issues such as communication problems and chronic illness stress.
Ade uses clear, practical conversation to help people untangle what is keeping them stuck. Sessions focus on identifying patterns, setting boundaries, and building small skills that change daily life. He draws on methods that help people manage difficult feelings and reduce reactive habits around other people.
In practice he combines client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques. That means conversations about your goals, alongside hands-on strategies to shift thoughts and behaviors. He also brings in dialectical behavior ideas for managing intense emotions and mindfulness tools for steadying attention.
Ade has worked across Europe and the United States over three decades. His experience includes substance-related concerns and recovery work alongside trauma-informed approaches. He frames work around realistic steps and ongoing coping tools rather than promises about relationships or outcomes.
People who come for help with codependency often want clearer limits, less people-pleasing, or relief from anxiety tied to others. Ade focuses on concrete next steps - how to say no, how to notice old patterns, and how to practice new responses so daily life becomes less overwhelming.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your goals. The therapist reflects your concerns and helps you name what matters most, which can be helpful for people who feel they lose themselves in relationships.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses straightforward exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and build new responses, useful for anxiety, low mood, and patterns of people-pleasing.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for handling strong emotions and improving relationships. It offers concrete tools for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer communication.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to focus on and adjust the plan over time.
Confirm current session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote work so you can practice skills between meetings.
