Dr. Agyenim Akuamoah-Boateng is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 23 years of experience providing care for people facing mental health and substance use challenges.

He combines evidence-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy to tailor care to each person’s needs. Across these methods he aims to help clients build practical coping skills, clarify goals, and strengthen self-efficacy.

Dr. Akuamoah-Boateng works with a broad range of concerns - from stress, sleep problems, and anger to addictions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, relationship and intimacy difficulties, and caregiver stress. He also addresses issues such as abandonment, body image, codependency, domestic violence, and career transitions. He provides services in English and accepts international clients, offering flexible options to support recovery, resilience, and meaningful change.

Integrating Evidence-Based Approaches in Online Therapy

Dr. Agyenim Akuamoah-Boateng draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present - it is often used for anxiety, trauma responses, and chronic stress. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses - it can be helpful for relationship difficulties, intimacy issues, and attachment concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and sleep problems.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Dr. Akuamoah-Boateng works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and life circumstances and adjusts methods accordingly so that therapy fits the individual rather than the other way around.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter check-ins are possible via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access licensed professionals and therapists from a wider geographic area.
