Dr. Igboanusi writes plainly and listens closely to what matters most to each person. His approach is warm and collaborative.

Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful patterns and building clear, doable skills.

Background and approach

He draws on methods that include acceptance and commitment techniques, cognitive behavioral strategies, and trauma-focused tools to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Clients can expect a respectful, down-to-earth tone in sessions. He mixes structured skill practice with space to tell your story and make sense of difficult experiences.

Humor and humility are used where helpful, and the aim is steady progress rather than instant fixes. Dr. Igboanusi also brings work on relationships into individual sessions when that fits the concern.

He uses communication and problem-solving skills from couple-focused methods to help people navigate closeness and conflicts. Practical steps for healthier interactions are emphasized alongside personal healing. Located in Nebraska, he offers therapy in English and accepts international clients.

His background includes 15 years supporting adults through parenting changes, family issues, loss, and recovery from trauma. Therapy is geared toward realistic coping and rebuilding a life that feels more manageable.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values, even when strong feelings are present. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It helps with low mood, worry, sleep issues, and day-to-day coping. EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a trauma-focused method that can reduce the impact of distressing memories through a structured process aimed at changing how memories are stored.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and happens together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan if something isn’t working. That collaborative process helps match evidence-based tools to individual needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people practice skills and talk in real time, while messaging and live chat suit quick check-ins and written reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, access care from different locations, and continue work after major life changes.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
