About Chidi
LISW in Iowa with 40 years of experience, Chidi Ojinnaka helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. He emphasizes clients' own knowledge of their lives and works alongside their strengths. He asks straightforward questions and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. Chidi speaks English and accepts international clients.
Chidi frames the work as a collaborative effort. He listens for what a person already does well, and then builds on those abilities to address current problems. Sessions typically include talking through difficult experiences, identifying patterns that cause distress, and practicing simple skills to reduce panic or worry.
He also supports people concerned about body image, communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, self-love, and social anxiety or phobia. He explains options clearly so clients can choose what feels manageable. His approach is practical rather than theoretical and aims to make therapy fit into everyday life.
Chidi’s long experience includes working across many settings over four decades. That background shapes how he notices patterns and suggests concrete changes. He encourages small experiments in daily routine to test what helps and what does not.
To begin, he asks people to describe what they want to change and what has helped in the past. From there he and the person set simple goals and the work proceeds at a steady, straightforward pace.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions
Chidi describes his work as based on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are applied in practical ways. One common technique is skill practice - teaching short tools people can use to reduce anxiety or manage panic attacks, then rehearsing those skills in session so they are easier to use later. Another is problem-focused discussion - identifying unhelpful patterns in thinking or behavior and testing small changes to see what reduces distress. These approaches suit issues like anxiety, panic, relationship difficulties, and post-traumatic stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chidi will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques to try, based on the person's goals and what has worked before. He adjusts plans as needed and checks in about progress, so the choice of methods changes if they do not help.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce the need to travel. It can also let people continue with a therapist across geographic moves. Ask the provider which session types are available and how they handle scheduling within a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
