David Adegbola , LCSW

David Adegbola is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New Jersey with more than 15 years of professional experience. As an LCSW he has advanced training in mental health assessment and treatment and applies that background to support people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, anger, and depression.

He emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared and explored. Working collaboratively, he helps clients identify goals and practical steps toward a more fulfilling life, offering steady support and encouragement as they consider change. His practice draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are tailored to each person to build coping skills, improve communication, and foster self-compassion.

David also addresses secondary concerns such as isolation, guilt and shame, forgiveness, social anxiety, and self-love, helping clients recognize patterns, develop healthier responses, and strengthen resilience. He conducts sessions in English and leans on his years of experience to adapt interventions to each individual’s needs and circumstances.

Evidence-based approaches and online therapy options

David uses evidence-based, skills-focused strategies to help people manage stress and anxiety, teaching practical coping tools and behavioral techniques that reduce overwhelm and build emotional regulation. He also applies trauma-focused methods to support processing of traumatic experiences and abuse, helping people make sense of painful memories and develop safer ways of relating to themselves and others. For grief, loss, and anger, he incorporates supportive therapeutic work that helps process emotions, restore routines, and find constructive pathways forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. He works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which techniques best match a person's needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online care offers flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives - sessions can happen by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access consistent support from wherever clients are located, accommodate different communication styles, and allow therapy to continue through life transitions and scheduling challenges.
