About Agyenim
Dr. Agyenim Akuamoah-Boateng is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. He brings 23 years of experience in mental health and substance use counseling. He often helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, and relationship or intimacy concerns. He welcomes conversations about men’s wellbeing as one area of focus.
He has a long history working with people who cope with overlapping medical, mental health, and substance use challenges. That background shapes a practical style that emphasizes skills, motivation, and real-world steps. In session he often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and client-centered conversation to help clients notice what matters and try new patterns.
Dr. Agyenim also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current connection and safety. He uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are primary needs. He describes therapy as collaborative and goal-oriented, with a focus on building lasting coping tools.
People who choose him can expect straightforward talk and concrete strategies. Sessions may include skill practice, values clarification, and planning for behavior change. His approach aims to increase confidence and practical problem solving rather than only reviewing the past.
He offers services in English and works with international clients as noted. To begin, follow the site steps to match and schedule a session based on availability.
Therapeutic approaches and online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values, even when tough thoughts or feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing different behaviors to change mood and daily functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current ways of connecting and can help with intimacy, trust, and communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying a strategy, checking how it feels, and adapting over time rather than assuming one path fits everyone.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking because they are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so a session can fit between other responsibilities. Many people find that video or phone sessions let them practice skills in daily life and keep continuity when schedules or locations change.
