About Agyenim
Dr. Agyenim Akuamoah-Boateng is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina with 23 years of experience in mental health and substance use counseling. He has worked in the field since 1998 and in private practice since 2001. He helps people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and other stresses of life.
He has significant experience with co-occurring medical, mental health, and substance use challenges. That work includes recovery skills training for people who want to stop using alcohol, prescriptions, or illicit drugs. He uses approaches meant to support coping, relapse prevention, and daily functioning.
His sessions draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based methods, and a client-centered frame. That means conversations focus on values, practical skills, emotion regulation, and improving relationships. Sessions often include goal-setting and concrete strategies to manage symptoms.
Dr. Akuamoah-Boateng also lists areas such as stress, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career issues, grief, and ADHD among his focuses. He works with people navigating life changes and the pressures that come with early adulthood and beyond. He collaborates on realistic steps clients can try between sessions.
He offers services in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session scheduled via the See online therapy options button.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is about clarifying values and taking small actions that matter to the client. It can help with anxiety, depression, and feelings of emptiness by focusing on what a person wants their life to stand for and building steps toward those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing different behaviors. It helps with anxiety, sleep problems, depression, and managing mood by teaching practical tools to change patterns that maintain distress.Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then try approaches that fit. That collaborative check-in continues as sessions proceed so methods can be adjusted based on what the client finds useful.
Confirm specific session formats before booking since the profile does not list formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow people living outside North Carolina to work with him as he accepts international clients. Practical matters like session length, timing, or whether video is used are arranged at intake so therapy fits everyday life.
