About Aqueelah

Dr. Aqueelah Wheatley centers her work on helping adults who feel stuck or misunderstood, offering a practical path forward during life transitions.

Background and approach

She brings a direct yet compassionate style to therapy, aiming to clarify clients' priorities and build tangible skills for managing stress, anxiety, and relationship challenges. Using an integrative, tailored framework, Dr.

Wheatley helps clients uncover patterns rooted in attachment and past experience while teaching emotional regulation, boundary-setting, and communication strategies. Her approach incorporates elements of cognitive behavioral therapy alongside attachment-informed and skills-based methods to support growth in areas like self-esteem, career decisions, and coping with change.

With seven years of clinical experience and the LIMFT credential (OH LIMFT F.2500486), she guides people through issues including ADHD, family and blended family dynamics, compassion fatigue, and questions of life purpose. Sessions focus on steady progress rather than quick fixes, encouraging clients to reconnect with their values and move toward a clearer, more intentional sense of self.

Integrative therapy approaches for online care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and the behaviors that follow, offering practical tools for anxiety, stress, and self-esteem concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses, which can be especially useful for improving communication and addressing relationship wounds.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to weigh their needs, goals, and preferences and may blend methods to create a tailored plan that emphasizes skill-building and clearer self-understanding.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity during life transitions and to access therapy from home or work while still working toward practical, measurable changes.
