Hi, my name is Ofori Asante and I am a licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas.
I specialize in helping others figure out the causes of their frustrations, anger, anxiety and lack of resources in dealing with their problems.
I worked as a mental health technician in a behavioral hospital and a refugee resettlement agency after my first degree. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Human Development and Family Studies from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
I have also earned a Master’s in Counseling and Sociology from Texas A&M University – Commerce. I have been a licensed professional counselor for the past 10 years and my clinical background includes work with college students, children, adolescents, and families. I am a nationally certified counselor and a member of the Texas Counseling Association (TCA).
My areas of interest include leadership, conference presentations on diverse issues among college students and their families, multicultural and diversity issues. My primary research interest includes marital satisfaction in intercultural couples. I have vast experience working with those who suffer from chronic mental illness including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, and anxiety. I also have a wealth of experience working with those struggling with self-esteem, phobias, self-worth, poor relationships, and grief.
I was the Truax Scholarship recipient in 2005 and the outstanding master’s level student in the department of Counseling Texas A&M University -Commerce in 2003 and 2005 year. I am a counselor supervisor for the state of Texas when it comes to license professional counseling training from 2010 to present.
Married with two beautiful children, I am also involved in my church and teach Sunday school and lead prayers. I provide marital counseling and am also available to the clients specifically looking for biblical counseling. I completed my doctoral education in Texas A&M University – Commerce looking at Marital Satisfaction among Filipino Americans and European Americans in intercultural Marriages. I work with people of all race but focus on people of African descent and those in intercultural relationships with Africans in general.

About online counseling

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Dr Asante has been great
I've only been working with Dr. Asante for a short time now, but he has given me some very helpful advice, direction and perspective. Implementing his strategies and suggestions have already given me some very real results! I'm less anxious and I feel like the cloud is finally being lifted. I also feel I am better equipped to support my children in a way that is more productive for us as a whole. His expertise and calm demeanor are very comforting and helpful. His experience and compassion are obvious. I highly recommend him as a therapist.
He has been the best therapist that I’ve ever had. He is helping me through a very difficult relationship. He genuinely cares and I feel like he treats me as if I am a family member. Absolutely life changing
I greatly appreciate Dr Asante’s approach! I have a lot of things I want to work on and he’s given me tools to recognize that many of them have much deeper causes I need and can address versus just focusing on symptoms.
Dr. Asante is a terrific therapist who takes the time to really listen to you and understand your issues before recommending a course of action. I found our time together to be valuable in helping me better understand myself and how to show up better for my loved ones. I would recommend Dr. Asante to anyone seeking therapy.
Wonderful therapist, easy to talk to.❤️
Thank you for being a God fearing man doing Gods will.
Dr Asante in such a short time has opened my eyes in ways my previous therapist has not. I feel honored to have him as my therapist now. It's nice to have someone that responds to me.
The Dr. is very knowledgeable and he tries his very best to assist me with my issues.

After just two sessions, Dr. Asante has given me perspective and insight that I had not previously considered. He is personable and professional and I cannot wait to see what things we can uncover and issues we can resolve.

This man is fantastic
Dr. Asante is incredibly knowledgeable in specific areas I needed help in. He allows me to both critically think through my problems and also offers guidance, advice, and tools to tackle the in the future.
Dr Asante has been very helpful through my family’s difficult journey. He is positive and supportive. His recommendations have been extremely helpful.

Dr. Asante is one of the best therapists I've ever worked with He's very knowledgeable and knows exactly what you need He's a great listener and has so many tools that helped me improve my life tremendously I highly recommend him
I had a short duration with him, but he timely responded to my queries and the help I required and is a great person who knows exactly what to say.
Dr. Asante is not only really knowledgeable but also provides practical advice to better achieve one's goals. This sets him apart from most therapist who will only listen and say "be positive".
At 43, I chose to love myself and give myself the gift of therapy. I was terrified to sign up and start this journey. When I was matched with Dr. Asante and I viewed his profile, I knew I had found my match. His level of expertise and warm smile was exactly what I needed. When our sessions first started, I felt broken, lost and depressed. Within weeks I started feeling healed. He has helped me process my depression and anxiety while helping me repair the relationship with my mom. He is kind, patient and knows how to explain things so that I can understand . I would recommend him to anyone seeking therapy who is ready to work towards their goals!
Very kind, patient and understanding man, with a wide variety of knowledge and understanding and will tailor your therapy towards your needs. Highly recommend
I am very comfortable with Dr Asante. I feel like he understands me well
I've made alot of progress with dealing with and healing from my traumas since I began working with Dr. Asante. I've also made alot of progress in other areas of my life such as business and finance. He has completely changed my perspective and given me the tools to cope with issues that arise in my life. I would definitely recommend Dr. Asante and BetterHelp.
Amazing experience with Dr.Sante, he has helped me so much with dealing with my struggles, he’s so insightful and helpful. I would highly recommend him to anyone who’s struggling!
Dr Asante is very encouraging and helps me better understand how I often perceive things that are affecting me. He helps me find ways to shift my perspective in a positive manner.
I have had several counselors in my lifetime, and Dr. Asante has been one of the best. He is extremely knowledgeable and he does a fantastic job at transferring that knowledge to help me figure out the things that are troubling me.
I had councillor before. I never connected with them. Then Dr Ofori Asante happened. And little do you know, I have every intention of asking him to adopt me... We're only 2 sessions in. He is patient, experienced and will know how best to deal with you according to your needs. I highly recommend him.
Love what I have become after speaking to him! More sessions to come from him!
Amazing therapist. Feels natural and grateful for these counseling sessions!
I appreciate Dr. Asantes time and listening ear. He has helped me in a great way and has provided encouragement and advice that I am very grateful for.
Dr. Asante is very helpful and listens to my concerns. He provides different ways to think about situations that I wouldn't have though of on my own. I highly recommend Dr. Asante.
He really listens to what I am saying and gives me tools to help me with my problem that really work.
Dr. Asante is organized, understanding, and has a sense of humor! I have found my sessions with him easier than I imagined. I only wish I had started sooner :)
I’ve been working with Dr. Asante for 3 weeks now. He’s very professional and clearly gifted at what he does. I’ve never experienced feeling so validated, accountable, and safe at the same time. I’m excited for every session with him.
Listens well and knows exactly where to go with it and what tools to give you.
