About Kwasi

Kwasi Boaitey is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem challenges. He emphasizes acceptance, honesty, and compassion while people work toward clearer choices and healthier patterns. In sessions he treats each person as the expert on their life story.

He listens for the themes that shape how someone sees themselves and their options. From there he helps people name unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding.

Background and approach

He uses a blend of practical methods, including Narrative approaches that look at how stories shape identity, cognitive-behavioral tools to change thinking and behavior, and attachment-based ideas about connection and safety. These methods aim to create small, manageable shifts people can practice between sessions.

Kwasi draws on seven years of clinical experience and holds an LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker. He brings patience and straightforward guidance to sessions, helping people set realistic steps toward their goals. He also addresses concerns like addiction, communication problems, blended family stress, life purpose, and end-of-life issues.

Sessions focus on useful skills, clearer thinking, and making choices that fit each person’s values and day-to-day life.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how he works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Kwasi directly how he uses it and what a session usually looks like.

Online session options

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-based steps even when feelings are strong. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and feeling stuck. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and the world. Sessions focus on reauthoring those stories so people can see more options and make different choices. Attachment-Based Therapy examines patterns of connection and trust in relationships. It helps people understand how past relational experiences shape current bonds and communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with someone to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they check what helps and adjust the plan over time, mixing approaches when that makes sense.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you see facial expressions and use visual tools. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when someone needs to fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to get consistent help across different schedules and needs.
