About Gerald
Dr. Gerald Igboanusi is a LIMHP - Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner in Nebraska with 15 years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and coping with life changes. He also addresses family concerns and intimacy-related issues among other areas listed in his practice.
Dr. Igboanusi works with adults from varied backgrounds, including people facing workplace pressure and those navigating midlife transitions. He talks through attachment questions, abandonment and commitment worries, and issues tied to family of origin. He also helps with sleeping problems, self-esteem, and career-related stress.
His approach is practical and person-centered. Sessions tend to look at patterns in thinking and behavior, and then focus on building new ways of communicating and handling conflict. He uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to create concrete steps a person can try between sessions.
When trauma is part of the story he may use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to address distressing memories. He also draws on the Gottman Method ideas to address intimacy-related problems and communication breakdowns. The work is collaborative - he helps people set goals and tries methods that fit the individual's needs.
Dr. Igboanusi accepts clients from outside the U.S. who can work in English. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.
How sessions work
How Dr. Igboanusi’s approaches work in online sessions
Dr. Igboanusi uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and to clarify personal values that guide action. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes where getting focused on values helps move things forward.He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with practical behavior changes. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress when step-by-step strategies are helpful.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match goals, symptoms, and comfort with different techniques. That might mean trying some CBT exercises for a while, using ACT practices, or incorporating EMDR elements when trauma memories are central.
Confirm the live session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when days are tight, and reduce travel time. He will discuss what works best for scheduling and for the type of work you want to do.
