About Jacklyn
Jacklyn Amankwa-Amoyaw is a Licensed Certified Social Worker in Maryland with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults on relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem, stress, anxiety, parenting strains, and related family issues. Sessions are conducted in English and Akan.
Jacklyn uses practical, straightforward conversation to help people sort through what feels overwhelming at home. She listens for what matters to each person and builds on the strengths they already have. Meetings focus on concrete steps and small changes that can make daily life more manageable.
Her background includes work with people affected by abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment issues, and blended family challenges. She also supports those facing caregiver stress, fertility concerns, immigration-related strain, and the fallout from trauma or difficult life changes.
Jacklyn draws on Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the client's perspective. She incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems stuck. Mindfulness tools are used to help clients ground themselves and reduce stress in the moment.
She has experience helping teens and young adults navigate everyday hurdles, though sessions listed here are for individual adults. Jacklyn emphasizes steady progress rather than quick fixes and treats practical concerns like sleep problems and compassion fatigue alongside relational issues.
To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The subscription model for sessions can be canceled at any time, and cost varies by location.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own perspective and priorities. Online sessions using this approach start with what the client thinks matters most and follow their pace. It helps when adults need practical support for relationship or parenting stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts and actions keep problems going. In remote sessions this approach uses exercises and homework to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, sleep problems, and confidence. Mindfulness Therapy teaches short attention and breathing practices to reduce stress in the moment and build tolerance for difficult feelings.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That plan can change as people learn what helps them most.
Confirm the exact session options before booking, since formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so progress continues between meetings.
