Hello! I'm Akunna and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to supporting individuals through life's challenges with compassion and care. I work with clients navigating personal and workplace stressors, anxiety, relationship concerns, and self-esteem issues, helping them build greater resilience and confidence in their lives while connecting helpful and applicable resources to support treatment.
My approach is collaborative and person-centered, led at your preferred pace. I believe in meeting you where you are and working together to identify what matters most in your life.. I draw on evidence-based therapeutic practices to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences and work toward meaningful change at your own pace.
I look forward to supporting you at any step of your journey.
All the best, Akunna

03 · What happens next
Akunna practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Akunna's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Akunna at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Akunna is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Akunna.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
