About Kwasi
Kwasi Boaitey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with seven years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and coaching for life challenges. He also addresses attachment issues, blended family stress, communication problems, control issues, addiction concerns, and guilt and shame.
In session he treats people as the experts of their own lives. He listens, asks direct questions, and helps clients name what is getting in the way of change. Practical tools are introduced alongside exploration of patterns that keep problems repeating. Sessions aim to bring clearer thinking and small, manageable steps toward goals.
Boaitey uses methods drawn from several evidence-informed approaches. He draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose values-based action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try out new behaviors. Attachment-based ideas guide work on closeness and trust in relationships.
He emphasizes steady pacing rather than quick fixes. Conversations may include skills practice, plain feedback, and planning for everyday situations. Clients can expect straightforward language and concrete suggestions they can try between sessions.
Boaitey works in New York and conducts sessions in English. He frames therapy as a collaborative process that focuses on practical movement and clearer choices. If guilt or shame is the main concern, he will address how those feelings affect behavior and relationships while exploring options for change.
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than trying to push thoughts away. It can be useful for persistent guilt or anxiety when decision making is affected. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to change outcomes. CBT is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and patterns that maintain shame.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to emphasize based on current needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions may mix ACT and CBT techniques and adjust over time as goals shift.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can practice skills between work and family responsibilities.
