Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I take a person-centered approach, meeting each client where they are with compassion and respect. My goal is to create a supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered.

I incorporate Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to help you move toward the future you want. Together, we identify your existing strengths and skills, building on what’s already working while exploring what can be done differently to support meaningful change.

This approach emphasizes your present circumstances and future goals, helping you create practical, forward-moving solutions rather than staying stuck in the past.

Chidinma Oligbo

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Charlotte, NC


I am a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). I provide care to children, adolescents, and adults, and my background in both family medicine and psychiatric mental health allows me to consider the important connection between physical and mental well-being.

I evaluate and manage a wide range of psychiatric and behavioral health concerns, including depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar and other mood disorders, trauma and PTSD, personality disorders, substance use and addiction, chronic stress, anger and aggression, sleep concerns, and emotional and behavioral difficulties. My medical background also informs my work with individuals whose mental health may be affected by chronic pain, medical conditions, medications, or other physical health concerns.

In addition to my medical and psychiatric training, I have specialized training and certifications in various evidence-based psychotherapy modalities. My therapeutic work may include individual therapy, trauma-focused therapy, family therapy, and parent-child therapeutic approaches. This combination of medical, psychiatric, and therapeutic training allows me to provide care that is individualized to the needs of each person and family.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Greensboro

Finding addiction therapists in Greensboro starts with understanding what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, drug use, nicotine use, gambling, compulsive behaviors, and related concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, or relationship strain. Look for a therapist whose listed specialties and training match what you want to address. Some therapists use approaches like motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, or coordination with medication-assisted care when a prescriber is part of your care team.

Greensboro has a range of therapy options, including in-person offices and virtual appointments across the area. Virtual care can expand your options if you want a therapist with specific addiction experience, harm reduction training, or availability that fits your schedule. As you compare therapists, review whether they are accepting new patients, offer appointment times that work for you, and provide a free phone consultation. Reading bios can also show how a therapist describes their style, including whether they take a nonjudgmental approach to recovery and understand that progress can look different from person to person.

Addiction therapy in Greensboro can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket expense before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, review detailed profiles, confirm insurance details, and see estimated costs upfront — so you can browse therapists, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
