About Faith

Faith Otobo is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of practice in New York. She offers a calm, steady presence for people handling stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and trauma. Her style is warm and straightforward and aims to make conversations feel manageable and useful.

She uses narrative ideas to help people tell and rethink the stories they carry about themselves. That can make space for new choices and different ways of relating to others.

Background and approach

She also draws on Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches to focus on how relationships and the therapeutic connection shape healing. Faith blends practical tools with compassionate listening. She may introduce Cognitive Behavioral techniques for changing unhelpful thinking patterns.

Dialectical Behavioral skills can be used to manage strong emotions and build coping strategies. Sessions move at a pace set by the person attending. Faith helps people sort priorities, sharpen communication, and address issues like abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency, and grief from divorce or separation.

She also supports work around fertility challenges, guilt, and forgiveness. Her work often includes short skills practice, reflective questions, and revisiting life stories to test new meanings. People who want a relational, practical approach that mixes listening with concrete strategies typically find this helpful.

Faith speaks English and is available to work with international clients by online formats.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Faith directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.

Online session options

How therapy methods translate to online care

Faith often uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from limiting stories and explore alternative meanings. That approach can be useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem work, and recovery after loss or abandonment. Attachment-Based Therapy is another focus - it looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions and helps people build more supported ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy rounds out this mix by prioritizing a respectful, accepting therapeutic relationship and letting the person's goals guide each session.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Faith will talk with each person about their needs and preferences, try methods that fit, and adjust based on what helps. The process is collaborative and paced to the individual's comfort and goals.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video supports deeper conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives and different time zones, while still letting therapists use narrative, attachment, and client-centered techniques effectively.
