About Prisca
Prisca Okeahialam-swaray is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Minnesota with 13 years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and other life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and focus on practical ways to manage day-to-day difficulties.
Prisca centers the person’s own story and strengths when working together. She listens for what matters most and helps people notice patterns that get in the way. Conversations include setting clear goals and trying small, concrete changes between sessions.
Her background includes approaches drawn from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy. Those methods are used to address things like panic, obsessive thoughts, low mood, relationship problems, and struggles with self-esteem or impulsivity.
In sessions she tends to focus on practical skills and problem-solving alongside talking through personal meaning. That can look like learning behavioral strategies from CBT, practicing emotion regulation skills from DBT, and naming the stories that shape how someone sees themselves with Narrative Therapy.
People who contact her follow a simple intake process that includes a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Prisca does not take international clients.
How Prisca uses approaches in online sessions
Prisca draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps create alternative, more helpful narratives.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Prisca will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and daily life. She listens to priorities and adjusts the mix of skills practice, goal-setting, and reflective conversation to fit how someone prefers to work.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the profile does not list them here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Discuss your timing and practical needs when you complete the matching questionnaire so session arrangements align with your routine.
