How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Dr. Anokye uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the effects of past distress on daily life, helping people notice triggers and build strategies to reduce their impact. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify values and take committed action even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings arise. Client-Centered Therapy places the client's perspective at the center, offering attentive listening and support so people can find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress and priorities evolve.

If you are considering online work, confirm current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce the need to travel. Licensed professionals often combine practical skill-building with reflective conversation so clients can practice changes between appointments.
