My name is Abi Lingwall and I hold an LICSW in the state of Minnesota. I strive to take a trauma-conscious and client-centered approach to my practice allowing the client to lead their treatment.
My approach
Most commonly I pull from a systems or solutions-focused framework. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
My focus
The majority of my clinical work has been with children and families. Most recently I have worked with clients of all ages with a variety of diagnoses. I enjoy working with adolescents and young adults.
My communication style
I strive to create a positive and comfortable space for clients. Utilizing humor when appropriate and speaking directly yet calm when focusing on the tougher conversations.
My journey to mental healthcare
I have been interested in a career in mental health since 6th grade. I have always been drawn to a helping profession but knew I would never last in the medical field.
My goals for you
My approach to goal setting is client-driven. My clients are in control of their treatment and what areas of their lives they would like to focus on.
My first session with you
The first session will always be spent simply getting to know each other. It's equally as important that you know who I am and how I operate as a therapist and I get a sense of who you are what you would like to focus on during our time together.
