Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Regina Okafor, a Texas-based Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 5 years of experience supporting adults through life’s challenges. I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Houston Graduate School of Social Work and provide therapy in English. I work with clients facing concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, life transitions, self-esteem, and burnout. As a Black woman therapist, I know how powerful it can be to feel genuinely seen, heard, and respected in therapy. My style is warm, collaborative, trauma-informed, and strengths-based, and I’m committed to creating a supportive space where clients can process openly, deepen self-understanding, and move toward lasting healing and growth.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and grounded in meeting each client where they are. I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can be yourself, explore what’s weighing on you, and build tools that support your growth outside of session. I focus on creating a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, empathy, and open communication, while helping clients move toward clarity, healing, and lasting progress.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, you can expect a welcoming and supportive conversation focused on getting to know you and what brings you to therapy. We’ll talk about your current concerns, any important background you’d like to share, and what you hope to get out of the process. My goal is to help you feel comfortable, understood, and clear on what working together can look like.
