Jacklyn Amankwa-Amoyaw, MD, LCSW-C

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Jacklyn draws on client-centered therapy to create a space where the client's perspective guides the work - this approach emphasizes empathic listening, collaboration, and helping clients identify their own goals and strengths, useful for relationship concerns and self-esteem work. She also integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and address sleeping or motivation difficulties. Mindfulness therapy is used to teach present-moment awareness and grounding practices that can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation in the face of life changes or trauma.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Jacklyn works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds to ensure the approach remains helpful and relevant.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, or caregiving responsibilities. These formats make it easier to maintain consistent contact with licensed professionals and therapists, adapt scheduling to changing routines, and access ongoing support from home or other convenient locations.
