My name is Dr. Oyenike Sanni, and I am a double board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 10 years of experience in psychiatry and telehealth services. I specialize in providing compassionate, patient-centered care that integrates evidence-based interventions with cultural sensitivity and trauma-informed approaches. My focus is on helping individuals across the lifespan manage mental health challenges, build resilience, and develop strategies for living with greater balance, confidence, and hope.
I earned my Doctorate in Nursing from Brandman University, where I specialized in psychiatric assessment, diagnosis, and treatment. My approach combines psychopharmacology, psychotherapy, and holistic strategies to support long-term emotional wellness and stability.
I understand that reaching out for help can feel overwhelming, so I strive to meet each client with compassion, respect, and a nonjudgmental approach. I create a safe space where healing begins, empowering clients to gain insight, strengthen relationships, and achieve lasting well-being.

My go-to approach for helping people in online therapy is screen sharing The Gottman Feeling Wheel and any worksheets we may go over during the session. I prefer this because I love to collaborate with clients during their treatment.
I teach the following tools in online therapy:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in online therapy when the client reports about the positive changes they made during their week.
Clients can supplement their time in online therapy with reading therapeutic books to help them outside of sessions and utilize coping skills.
To prepare for your first online therapy session, you can make sure you are in a quiet place alone to ensure your confidentiality. Also, check your internet connection to make sure it's strong to lessen session interruptions.
With Thriveworks, Online therapy is an effective alternative to in-person therapy services in which a client can speak to a Thriveworks therapist remotely via online video conferencing. Online sessions are just as effective as in-person treatment, but they can also provide added benefits like reduced travel time, saving money on transportation or childcare, and increased access to care.
Online therapy works much like traditional in-person therapy but takes place through secure video conferencing. Clients can attend Online therapy from any safe place they choose that has access to the internet, whether that be their home or another easily accessible place. Like in-person treatment, a therapist will work with their client to address their concerns, create goals, and establish an effective treatment plan.
There is no best option for online therapy—instead, it’s best to focus on finding a provider that meets your specific needs and with whom you can form a professional connection with.
Yes, online therapy is just as effetive for many clients as in-person sessions.
Online therapy can last for a few months to years depending on the goals and symptoms of the client. The treatment process will be unique to each client and lend itself to their specific concerns, which means that the time it takes to treat them will always be different. Timing is also up to the client themselves; they are free to stop therapy whenever they please, especially if they feel they have reached their goals and addressed their concerns.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay.

For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
