Jacklyn Amankwa-Amoyaw, LCSW-C

Jacklyn Amankwa-Amoyaw is a Licensed Certified Social Worker in Maryland with ten years of professional experience. She centers sessions on each person's story and strengths. She encourages people to take the first steps toward clearer days and fuller relationships.

Jacklyn focuses on relationship and intimacy-related concerns alongside stress, anxiety, self-esteem, career questions, and parenting strains. She also addresses issues tied to adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, and blended family challenges. Her work includes support for people dealing with caregiver stress, fertility and immigration-related strain, and sleep or body-image difficulties.

Her approach is grounded in Client-Centered Therapy, where the conversation follows the client's priorities. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns that keep problems active and to practice small, practical changes. Mindfulness techniques are woven in to help people notice thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed.

In sessions, Jacklyn takes a supportive and empowering stance. She aims to help people name what matters, try new behaviors, and rebuild confidence. The room moves at a steady, practical pace rather than rushing toward labels or quick fixes.

Jacklyn has spent time supporting teens and young adults as they face everyday hurdles. People who want a calm, respectful space to talk about relationships, life transitions, or ongoing stress may find her style helpful.

How her approaches guide online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's priorities first. The therapist listens closely and adapts sessions to what the client wants to work on, whether that is a relationship worry or a career decision. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and introduces practical steps to test new behaviors for anxiety, low mood, or communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacklyn will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences. That process can include trying different exercises and checking in to see what feels useful and what needs to change.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since formats are not specified in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a longer session is hard to schedule. It can also allow work on mindfulness practices and skill-building exercises from wherever someone is able to join. Licensed professionals help tailor the format to what will work best for each person's life and needs.
