About Faith
Faith Otobo is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with ten years of experience. She offers calm, direct support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, or depression. Faith speaks English and works with clients from different places, including international callers.
Her sessions focus on connection and emotions. She helps people name painful feelings and make sense of how those feelings affect behavior and relationships.
Background and approach
She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and attachment ideas to look at how bonds shape reactions, and she uses practical skills from cognitive behavioral and dialectical approaches when helpful. Faith keeps sessions person-centered and collaborative. She listens first, then makes small, concrete suggestions clients can try between meetings.
Therapy may include talking through past hurts like abandonment or adoption-related issues, working on communication and commitment worries, and addressing body image, chronic illness, or caregiver stress. Clients often work on managing shame, guilt, or emptiness and on navigating major life changes such as divorce, fertility struggles, or separation. She also supports people dealing with trauma, codependency, control issues, and forgiveness work.
Sessions aim to reduce distress and build clearer ways to understand needs and set boundaries. Faith offers multiple online formats including video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. She uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and helps people choose session types that fit their daily lives.

Online support
How attachment and emotion-focused work translate to online therapy
Faith commonly uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help people identify and process strong feelings that get in the way of closeness and daily functioning. EFT focuses on the here-and-now emotional experience and can be useful for relationship strain, abandonment wounds, and deep-seated shame.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds shape current patterns. That approach helps people notice repeated cycles in relationships and develop new ways of connecting and asking for needs to be met.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. She works collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions may blend EFT, attachment ideas, and practical skills from cognitive behavioral or dialectical techniques when appropriate.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for more interactive work and reading nonverbal cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows quick check-ins, and text messaging supports short updates or ongoing skill practice. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on emotional connection and practical change.
