About Agyenim
Dr. Agyenim Akuamoah-Boateng is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina with 23 years of experience. He has worked in mental health and substance use settings since 1998 and in private practice since 2001. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and codependency-related patterns.
He works with people who face complex challenges, including co-occurring medical and behavioral health issues. He uses practical approaches that focus on present concerns and clear goals. Sessions aim to identify patterns that keep someone stuck and to build manageable skills for day-to-day life.
Dr. Akuamoah-Boateng blends evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered work. He also draws on attachment-based ideas and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when useful. These methods are used to address trauma, substance use, mood problems, and problems with boundaries or people-pleasing.
In sessions he typically emphasizes motivation, recovery skills, and actions that help people move forward. He offers support for people wanting to stop or control alcohol and drug use, and for those adjusting to major life changes. Work often includes learning coping strategies, communication skills, and ways to manage strong emotions.
People who are looking for straightforward, skills-focused therapy that connects mood, behavior, and relationships may find his style helpful. He offers services in English and accepts clients from outside the United States. Before booking, confirm current session options and formats.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Dr. Akuamoah-Boateng uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice painful thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and to clarify values that guide meaningful action. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to teach concrete skills for change.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their concerns, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying one method, combining techniques, or adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some approaches translate well to virtual sessions because they focus on skill practice, homework, and stepwise behavior change. Ask about format options and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire.
