About Agyenim

Dr. Agyenim Akuamoah-Boateng is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 23 years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

He has spent more than two decades working in mental health and substance use settings, guiding people through anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, grief, and related challenges. His background emphasizes integrated care for co-occurring concerns and practical recovery skills for those seeking abstinence from alcohol and drugs.

His therapeutic stance blends active problem-solving with compassionate support. Dr.

Akuamoah-Boateng draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients shift unhelpful patterns, build coping strategies, and work through traumatic experiences. He also uses client-centered and attachment-informed methods to create a collaborative space where goals, values, and personal strengths shape the direction of care.

He accepts international clients and offers flexible session options to fit varied schedules.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Akuamoah-Boateng uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that align with their values; ACT can be helpful for anxiety, depression, trauma recovery, and life transitions. He also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to emotional distress and problematic habits. In practice he integrates these approaches with client-centered, attachment-aware listening to tailor interventions to each person's priorities.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to explore what feels most useful, drawing on different methods as goals and needs evolve so the work stays practical and personally relevant.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which supports flexibility for varied schedules and locations. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, travel, or other commitments, and allow clients and licensed professionals to focus on targeted skills, recovery strategies, and coping tools in formats that suit them.
