More about Luke
- 5 years' experience
- Male
- LICSW
I am licensed social worker (MSW, LICSW) in Minnesota with 5 years of professional work experience as a licensed social worker. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, trauma, abuse, anger management, motivation, self esteem, confidence, as well as other areas. I like to think of myself as a partner or guide in the journey to self-discover and healing, offering fresh perspectives, open ears, and support in pushing your comfort zone as you navigate life's challenges.
I partner with individuals through frameworks of empowerment, somatics, parts work (IFS model), and archetypal psychology to explore internal and external factors that impact individual growth and reaching one’s full potential in life.
I look forward to hearing more about your story and whether we’d be a good fit in working together on this journey of life!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
