About Adewale
Adewale (Wale) Adegbenle is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 20 years of experience. He works with people facing addiction, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, stress, relationship and family concerns, and caregiving strain. He also supports those dealing with grief, parenting struggles, career stress, bipolar disorder, and health-related challenges.
Wale meets people where practical problems meet emotional strain. Sessions focus on clear goals and doable steps. He listens, asks direct questions, and helps clients build small skills that matter in daily life.
His approach draws on client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques. That means attention to what you value and to the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change. Solution-focused methods help set short-term targets and track progress.
Wale has experience across health and substance use concerns and across family-of-origin and caregiving stresses. He brings two decades of work in these areas and uses that background to identify practical options you can try between sessions.
People who come for therapy with him can expect straightforward conversation, written or discussed goals, and regular check-ins on whether the approach is working. He works in English and accepts international clients, and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
BHow sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and on the client's priorities. Online sessions using this approach aim to clarify what matters to the person and set practical goals that fit everyday life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In online work CBT can involve short exercises between sessions, tracking thought patterns, and practicing new behaviors in real time.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels unsure about change. It is conversational and goal-focused, which often works well in remote sessions where progress can be revisited each week.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods match goals, preferences, and the pace the client wants. That plan can be adjusted based on what helps most in early sessions.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current delivery options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, offer shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use a mix of conversation, worksheets, and brief between-session tasks to keep progress moving.
