Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Olufolake Ike uses evidence-informed methods to guide her work, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on emotional experience and attachment patterns, making it useful for couples and families seeking to improve connection and communication. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and goals, helping clients build actionable steps toward change rather than dwelling solely on problems.
