About Albert
Albert Atemkeng is a Minnesota LICSW (Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker) with five years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, and concerns around self-esteem. He offers sessions in English and French and assists people dealing with guilt and shame among other issues.
Albert focuses on straightforward conversations about what is happening now and what keeps problems going. He listens for patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behavior, and then helps people try small changes to see what helps. Sessions aim to be practical and clear rather than full of jargon.
He has worked across settings where mood disorders, panic, and post-traumatic stress are present. That experience informs how he structures sessions and plans follow-up work between meetings. People often bring concerns about attachment, abandonment, or isolation and he addresses these alongside mood and anxiety symptoms.
Albert adapts the conversation to each person’s situation and values. He helps people sort through control issues, impulsivity, and the strain that caregiving or separation can create. The work can include checking how daily routines, relationships, and thinking patterns feed distress.
Sessions are framed around clear goals and manageable steps. The focus is on what a person wants to change and what is realistic to try next. To begin, clients complete an online matching questionnaire and then schedule a first meeting.
How therapeutic methods translate to online work
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often used for mood and anxiety issues include approaches that focus on changing unhelpful thinking patterns and those that address the body's response to stress. Cognitive-style methods help people notice and test thoughts that fuel guilt or worry, and then try different reactions to see if feelings shift. Trauma-informed approaches attend to how past events affect current responses, teaching pacing and grounding skills to reduce overwhelming reactions.Deciding which method to use is collaborative. He will discuss options, explain what a typical session looks like, and adjust based on a person’s goals and what feels useful. The first few sessions are often used to identify priorities and try a strategy for a short period to check how it fits.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people continue care when schedules or location make in-person meetings harder. Licensed professionals can use these methods effectively in remote sessions when they match a person’s needs.
