Albert Atemkeng, LICSW

Albert Atemkeng is a licensed clinical social worker in Minnesota with five years of practice experience. He focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, mood disorders such as bipolar disorder, and depression. He also supports people coping with trauma, abuse, low self-esteem, and related concerns.

He approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Sessions are shaped around what the individual needs, and he tailors conversations and plans rather than offering a one-size-fits-all protocol. His goal is to help people take practical steps toward feeling more stable and able to manage daily challenges.

Albert draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and patterns that get in the way of a better life. He pays attention to how attachment, abandonment, and control issues show up in relationships and behavior. He also works with people dealing with guilt, shame, impulsivity, isolation, panic, and post-traumatic stress.

People may find him helpful when navigating caregiver stress, divorce and separation, or the emotional fallout from difficult events. He offers services in English and French for those who prefer either language. Albert does not accept international clients and practices in Minnesota as a Minnesota LICSW.

Taking the first step can feel hard, and Albert aims to make that step more straightforward. He invites people to start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits their needs.

How Albert uses evidence-based methods in online care

Albert works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete skills and understanding patterns. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches practical tools to manage intense emotions and reduce panic. This helps people who have anxiety, mood swings, or panic attacks learn steadying techniques they can use day to day.

Another approach focuses on processing trauma and difficult experiences at a pace the person can handle. That work aims to reduce the ways past events continue to cause distress, and to rebuild a sense of safety in everyday life. Both approaches emphasize clear goals and regular check-ins to see what is helping.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences and then test methods together. Plans are adjusted over time if something isn’t working or if priorities change.

Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for flexible appointment times. It can also make regular check-ins simpler when life is hectic, while the therapeutic work remains focused on meeting stated goals.
