About Faith
Faith Otobo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with ten years of practice. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Her work aims to create a calm, steady space where clients can talk and make practical changes.
Faith draws on body-focused methods alongside talk therapy to help people notice how stress shows up in the body. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in relationships.
Background and approach
Sessions blend practical skills with opportunities to process feelings and past hurts. Her approach is straightforward and person-centered. She listens first, then offers tools people can try between sessions.
Those tools may include breathing and grounding practices, thought-based strategies from cognitive-behavioral work, and emotion regulation skills from dialectical behavior therapy.
Faith often helps clients facing specific life challenges such as abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, attachment difficulties, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, codependency, commitment concerns, communication problems, control struggles, divorce and separation, feelings of emptiness, fertility issues, forgiveness work, and guilt or shame. Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled in formats that fit busy lives.
She accepts international clients and combines practical steps with a warm, attentive stance. People who want to slow down, be heard, and try concrete strategies often find this approach useful.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Somatic Therapy helps people notice physical responses to stress and practice grounding or breathing techniques to calm the body. It is useful for trauma, anxiety, and chronic stress when people want tools that connect body and emotion.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns and how early connections shape current interactions. It helps when trust, closeness, or repeated conflict are getting in the way of feeling supported with others.
Client-Centered Therapy creates a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person sets the pace and goals. This approach supports people who need empathy and acceptance while they work through difficult feelings.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to try body-based exercises, skill practice, or conversation-focused work and adjust as needed.
Online sessions offer flexibility for different lifestyles. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging fit quick check-ins or brief skill practice. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while juggling work, caregiving, or other commitments.
