Okechuku Nwanganga, LCSW

Okechuku Nwanganga, LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), brings ten years of clinical experience to his practice in California. He centers his work on empowering individuals and families facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, career transitions, and other life changes. He places greater emphasis on clients' strengths than on diagnoses and supports each person in making choices that align with their values and goals.

Grounded in a belief that social work is a calling, he views therapy as a means to help people talk through what hurts and discover paths forward. He is not wedded to a single theoretical model and draws on approaches such as client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to shape a personalized treatment plan. Sessions focus on what the client identifies as important, and he respects each person’s pace and comfort level while offering thoughtful questions to illuminate the situation.

Nwanganga is known for combining honesty with compassion and empathy, and he often shares a guiding principle: "It matters because it matters to you." He provides care in both English and Igbo and offers therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. He is not accepting new clients at this time.
