Therapeutic approaches and online care
Dr. Akuamoah-Boateng uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered techniques to guide his work online. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on actions that match their values, which can help with anxiety, trauma responses and recovery goals. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental listening stance so people can explore concerns and make choices at their own pace.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, history and preferences and then try methods that fit. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps the individual make progress.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins between longer appointments. It can also let people choose a simpler audio session when bandwidth is limited or a phone check-in when a quick conversation is needed. Licensed professionals can help plan how to make remote sessions work around daily responsibilities and recovery routines.
