A thoughtful and gentle person whom makes you think about whatever you are going through with support and helpful suggestions.

Reviewed May 2024

Ohiro is an amazingly kind, gentle, and patient person. He has helped me cope and start to overcome some very severe trauma, and it has made living with trauma manageable even when actively in the midst of crisis. His interactions are helpful as they can be thought provoking and help see an angle where you might be stuck in a rut mentally that just helps you see the situation for what it is. I feel like much of this review is just describing a therapist doing their job really well, and I absolutely feel like Ohiro is an excellent therapist. Something unique about Ohiro is the fact that he has many anecdotes for situations, and is able to relate often bringing other stories to add perspective. Often it can feel like experiencing trauma is a unique experience that no one could understand unless they lived it. Being able to hear real stories of events happening outside my life help me to realize that much of my trauma doesn't need to just be held deep down inside. Ohiro helps you to not feel alone in your struggle, and to recognize that there are others out there who have also experienced the same painful feelings. Knowing that the Universe didn't just selectively choose me to dump its problems on has helped me get the perspective I needed, and start to deal with overwhelming feelings in a manageable mindset.

More about Ohiro

  • 29 years' experience
  • Male
  • LCSW-R

I am Ohiro Oni-Eseleh and I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the State of New York for 29 years. I hold a Ph.D from Adelphi University School of Social Work and have extensive experience working with individuals, couples, families and groups in a variety of settings to address a wide range of issues successfully. The focus of my work includes helping people deal with stressors associated with relationship, social adjustment, marital issues, depression, racism, discrimination and immigration. I also work with organizations and individuals to achieve maximum organizational and occupational functioning particularly around issues of diversity, equity and inclusion. In addition, I help individuals explore and attain clearer career perspectives. I approach my work believing that in each of us lies the ability to attain much of the transformative changes that we seek - and I have seen that come to light over and over through the years. Therefore, I bring a well-rounded focus to my work that includes a tremendous amount of respect and hope for each person that I work with. I look forward to an engaging work together.

PLEASE NOTE: I do not accept cases involving pending litigation or the potential of one.

About online counseling

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

I couldn't be more happy and grateful to have worked with Dr. Oni-Eseleh over the year. He has helped me through multiple personal challenges, including familial and romantic relationships. He has help to guide me through the process of self-reflection, overcoming and healing.

Dr Ohiro has helped me figure out and solve a problem I’d wrestled with for 7 years, in one session. Dealing with the fallout will take more time obviously. I appreciate Dr Ohiro switching dynamics where needed (more exploratory when getting into the problem, more firm when setting concrete goals). Kind of like talking to a wise owl reincarnated as a Buddhist monk. Two thumbs up
