Ramata Adebawo, LCSW

Ramata Adebawo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Oregon with seven years of experience. She works with people coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, depression, and career or addiction issues. Sessions are offered in English and Lingala.

Ramata grew up between cultures and says that experience shaped how she relates to people. She listens for cultural and life context, and she pays attention to how identity and background affect daily stresses and decisions. She aims to help clients find practical steps they can use between sessions.

Her approach centers on client-centered work and attachment-based ideas. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when helpful. These methods are used to reduce overwhelming emotions, build coping skills, and shift patterns that cause recurring problems.

Ramata also brings experience with immigrant and multicultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination, caregiver stress, and forgiveness work. She supports people dealing with midlife changes, young adult transitions, and intimacy-related difficulties in addition to trauma and post-traumatic stress concerns.

In session she focuses on collaboration and practical strategies. That can mean learning emotion regulation skills, trying new communication approaches, or setting achievable goals for work and family life. She asks about daily routines and pressures so plans fit real life.
