About Gerald
Dr. Gerald Igboanusi is a licensed independent mental health practitioner (LIMHP) with 15 years of experience helping adults handle stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma, grief, and life changes. He works with people navigating career pressures, intimacy questions, sleep problems, self-esteem concerns, and compassion fatigue. He also supports those coping with natural or human-caused disaster and first responder stress.
His approach is warm and collaborative. Sessions focus on practical steps and honest conversation. He listens for patterns and helps people notice what keeps them stuck. Small, doable changes are emphasized over jargon.
Dr. Igboanusi blends several methods to match each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and act on them even when feelings are hard. He may also draw on client-centered skills and EMDR for trauma-related work when appropriate.
He pays attention to relationships and attachment issues, including commitment and blended family concerns. Work often includes building clearer communication, setting boundaries, and restoring trust after separation or conflict. For people who have faced loss or abandonment, sessions aim to rebuild direction and self-worth.
People describe his style as grounded and respectful. He brings humor when useful and focuses on realistic tools for daily life. Sessions are geared to help people gain steadiness, make decisions, and move toward goals at a manageable pace.
How therapy approaches translate to remote work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people name what matters to them and take steps toward those values even when emotions are intense. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful patterns. It often helps with stress, sleep problems, and low mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method aimed at reducing the hold of painful memories by working through them in a structured way. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, past experiences, and preferences, then recommend which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses. Because the exact session formats were not listed in the biography, confirm which online options are offered before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also support consistent work on trauma, relationships, and coping skills from wherever someone is able to meet. Licensed professionals tailor the approach so the work feels manageable and aligned with daily life.Areas of expertise
