Background and approach
That long experience includes supporting people with co-occurring medical, mental health, and substance use challenges.

In sessions he emphasizes acceptance, values-based action, and clear skills people can try between meetings.

He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help with compulsive behavior, mood problems, and unhelpful thinking. People can expect a calm, direct style that focuses on goals and recovery skills.
He has assisted many who want to reduce or stop alcohol and drug use and those learning to cope with trauma and loss. The work often includes setting small, achievable steps and practicing coping strategies outside of sessions. Dr.
Akuamoah-Boateng offers a collaborative process that adapts to each person's goals. He helps people build self-efficacy, handle life changes, and develop practical plans for ongoing recovery and emotional well-being.

Online support
Online options that support attachment work and skills training
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice and change how they relate to others. It is useful for intimacy-related issues, attachment concerns, and communication problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches people to accept difficult feelings while taking steps that match their values; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and problems with motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on clear skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and can help with mood, sleep, and coping skills.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, history, and preferences, then choose or combine methods that fit. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted as progress and needs change.
Online therapy appointments are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video lets people connect face to face, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat works for brief check-ins, and messaging helps with ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, travel, caregiving, and busy schedules.
