About JICTherapy

Therapy Should Help You Move Forward

Talking about what happened can be important.

But I believe therapy should also help you understand why your experiences are still affecting you, what may be keeping you stuck, and what you can begin doing differently.

That's the approach I bring to my work at JICTherapy.

I'm Jide Oderinde, RP (Qualifying), and I provide virtual psychotherapy to adults across Ontario, with a particular focus on trauma and the emotional effects of difficult or overwhelming life experiences.

Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)

MDiv, Clinical Counselling | BA Psychology

Registered with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO).

My clinical work has given me experience supporting people who have lived through trauma and other difficult experiences and are now dealing with the effects those experiences have had on their thoughts, emotions, relationships, and everyday lives.

I've worked with individuals experiencing concerns including trauma-related difficulties, anxiety, depression, fear, avoidance, relationship difficulties, and emotional distress.

What I've learned through this work is that people don't simply need a place to describe what's wrong.

They need a place where they can begin understanding what is happening and what they can do about it.

What Working With Me Is Like

My approach to therapy is collaborative, practical, and focused on meaningful change.

That means I won't assume that I understand your experience simply because I've worked with someone who went through something similar.

We start with you.

We'll look at what's happening in your life now, what you've experienced, what you want to change, and what you hope will be different as a result of therapy.

From there, we'll work together to develop a direction for treatment.

You can expect therapy to involve:

A space to speak openly about what you're experiencing
Questions that help us understand patterns and connections
Practical strategies you can use outside of sessions
Opportunities to examine thoughts or beliefs that may be keeping you stuck
A treatment approach adapted to your individual needs and goals
Regular attention to whether therapy is actually helping you move toward those goals

Therapy isn't something I do to you.

It's work we do together.

My Approach to Trauma Therapy

My trauma work primarily draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT).

I use these approaches deliberately because trauma can affect both:

how you respond to life today

and

what you came to believe because of what happened.

CBT can help us work with current patterns of thinking, behavior, anxiety, fear, and avoidance.

CPT allows us to look more specifically at trauma-related beliefs involving areas such as safety, trust, control, responsibility, self-worth, and relationships.

The goal isn't to force you through a predetermined process.

It's to use evidence-based approaches in a way that makes sense for your experiences and your goals.

You Don't Have to Have the Right Words

Some people hesitate to start therapy because they don't know how to explain what's happening.

You may know that you're struggling without knowing exactly why.

You may know what happened but find it difficult to talk about.

Or you may have spent so long trying to manage things yourself that you're not even sure where to begin.

That's okay.

You don't need to prepare the perfect explanation before coming to therapy.

We can begin with what's happening now and work from there.

Faith Can Be Included — If You Want It To Be

For clients who want their Christian faith intentionally incorporated into counselling, I also provide Christian counselling.

This can include Scripture, prayer, and spiritual reflection according to your preferences.

Faith integration is always your choice.

If you don't want faith incorporated into therapy, you receive evidence-based psychotherapy without religious integration.

Why JICTherapy?

JICTherapy was created around a straightforward idea:

People should have somewhere to work through what happened without remaining defined by what happened.

Therapy can help you better understand your experiences, recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck, develop different ways of responding, and begin moving toward the life you want to live.

You remain an active participant throughout that process.

Start With a Conversation

Finding the right therapist matters.

That's why JICTherapy offers a free 15-minute consultation before you decide whether you'd like to begin therapy.

It's an opportunity to briefly tell me what's bringing you to therapy, ask questions, and get a sense of whether working together feels like the right fit.

JICTherapy provides secure virtual appointments for adults located across Ontario.
