About Albert
Albert Atemkeng is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Minnesota with five years of professional experience. He works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, mood disorders including bipolar disorder, and struggles with self-esteem. He speaks English and French and provides a straightforward, respectful approach to sessions.
In sessions he focuses on clear conversation and practical steps. He listens to what feels most pressing and helps break concerns into smaller, manageable pieces. He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms like panic attacks, persistent worry, and low mood.
Albert pays attention to relationship patterns such as attachment and abandonment concerns. He also helps people manage caregiver stress, impulsivity, guilt, and isolation. For separation or divorce-related strain he looks at immediate coping strategies and longer-term adjustment plans.
He explains options and works with each person to decide which methods to try first. That might include pacing exposure to feared social situations, building routines to stabilize mood, or learning skills to reduce acute anxiety. Progress is tracked in simple, practical ways so sessions stay focused.
To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules an initial session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted.
Evidence-based approaches and remote care
Albert works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on measurable skills and gradual changes. One common approach involves gradual exposure and behavioral experiments to reduce avoidance and lessen the intensity of social anxiety or panic symptoms. This approach helps people practice tolerating feared situations in manageable steps.Another helpful method focuses on mood regulation and routine building to address depression and bipolar-related mood shifts. That work often includes tracking patterns, identifying early warning signs, and creating straightforward daily strategies to stabilize mood and reduce impulsivity.
Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist discusses goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked in the past, then tries methods that fit those needs. Adjustments are made over time based on how symptoms and daily life respond.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises for the session setup you choose, and Albert will help plan practical steps you can use between meetings.
