About Kwasi
Kwasi Boaitey is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in New York with seven years of experience. He works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and coaching needs, and lists social anxiety and phobia among his clinical interests.
He describes therapy as a practical place to notice what isn’t working and try new ways of responding. Sessions focus on clear goals and steady steps rather than vague promises. Kwasi uses straightforward conversation and exercises to help people face situations that feel overwhelming, like public speaking or meeting new people.
His approach draws on several evidence-based methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and change patterns that increase anxiety. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take manageable action even when feelings are uncomfortable. He also uses Attachment-Based methods to look at how early relationships shape current patterns.
In session Kwasi blends skills practice, reflection, and practical problem solving. He will teach coping skills such as grounding, behavioral experiments, and brief exposure tasks when appropriate. Conversations are direct and paced to the client’s needs so progress can be tracked week to week.
Clients can expect a focus on goals like reducing avoidance, improving communication, and managing strong emotions. Kwasi encourages consistent follow-through and offers coaching-style feedback alongside psychotherapeutic work. He conducts sessions in English and practices in New York.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters to them and take small actions aligned with those values even when anxiety is present. It uses brief exercises and committed steps to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thought patterns that fuel anxiety and testing them with behavioral experiments and practical homework. CBT often includes exposure exercises to help reduce fear of social situations.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, reactions to different techniques, and what feels doable. Together they decide whether to emphasize ACT, CBT, attachment-oriented work, or a blend based on needs and preferences.
Confirm the current session formats before booking. When arranged, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow for focused check-ins between in-person commitments. Phone or video sessions can be adjusted so the client can practice skills, complete brief exposures, or receive coaching feedback that fits into everyday life.
