Kwasi Boaitey, LCSW

Kwasi Boaitey is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and life transitions like a midlife crisis. He invites clients to bring what they already know about themselves and to explore change at a manageable pace.

He frames therapy as a shared process where the client is the expert on their own life. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps and honest reflection. Conversations aim to create movement and reduce the patterns that keep someone stuck.

Kwasi uses a mix of well-known approaches to meet different needs. He draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking patterns, acceptance-based ideas to help people live with difficult feelings, and attachment-focused work to improve how people connect with others.

His style favors patience, compassion, and directness. He listens first, then offers tools that fit the person’s goals and daily life. Therapy can include short skills practice, values-based planning, and checking how changes feel over time.

Kwasi has seven years of clinical experience as an LCSW. He supports people coping with issues such as communication problems, control struggles, grief around hospice and end-of-life matters, substance concerns, and questions about life purpose. Sessions are conducted in English and follow the therapist’s usual processes for scheduling and matching.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters and take small steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult feelings. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions such as a midlife crisis. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotions and behavior and can help people improve trust, closeness, and communication with others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and impulsivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kwasi aims to figure out which methods fit a person's goals and preferences through a collaborative process. He checks in about what is helping and adapts the plan as needs change.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats and scheduling vary. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, avoid travel time, and have shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try different tools in the context of their everyday routines, and the therapist can guide skill practice, values work, and relationship-focused exercises across sessions.
