Lolade Bakrin, LPC

Lolade Bakrin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, depression, and trauma-related concerns. She supports adults, young adults, and adolescents in a calm, nonjudgmental setting. Her work centers on practical steps clients can use between sessions to feel steadier day to day.

Bakrin grounds sessions in cognitive behavioral principles while drawing on person-centered and trauma-informed ideas when helpful. She helps clients notice how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, and then practices new ways of responding. This often includes short, actionable coping skills to try between appointments.

Her background includes school-based and community mental health work. That experience informed her approach to communication challenges, emotional regulation, and the pressures of school or life transitions. She brings attention to cultural context and how it shapes each person's experiences.

In the therapy room she aims to make starting therapy feel less overwhelming. She lets clients set the pace and focuses on building skills they can use right away. Sessions emphasize clear goals, problem-solving, and steady progress rather than jargon.

People come to her for help with relationship stress, self-esteem and body image concerns, codependency, and issues like impulsivity or infidelity. She also addresses attachment struggles, social anxiety, and women's issues with a straightforward, practical style.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online work

Many of the approaches Lolade draws on focus on clear, teachable skills. Cognitive behavioral methods help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of thinking and behaving; this is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Person-centered ideas emphasize a respectful, accepting relationship where clients set the pace and lead the goals. Trauma-informed practices mean attention to safety, pacing, and how past distress shapes current reactions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust plans as progress is seen. Decisions about technique are based on what the client wants to achieve and what feels manageable in sessions.

The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit more easily into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-in sessions when that suits a schedule. Online work can also make it easier to practice coping strategies in real-life settings and to carry tools learned in sessions into everyday routines.
