About Prisca

Prisca Okeahialam-swaray is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) practicing in Minnesota with 13 years of professional experience.

Background and approach

She draws on a strengths-based outlook that recognizes each person as the expert of their own story, and she partners with clients to navigate stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship difficulties, and life transitions such as coping with loss and major change.

Her approach emphasizes empowerment and practical support, helping people build on existing resources while developing new skills to manage mood, impulsivity, or attention-related challenges like ADHD. Prisca also addresses a wide range of related concerns including family and parenting questions, communication problems, anger, self-esteem, multicultural issues, and obsessive or panic symptoms.

She frames therapy as a courageous step toward a more satisfying life and aims to create a collaborative space where goals and strategies are shaped by the client’s values and experiences.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on respect for the client's perspective and emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration to help people explore values and make choices that fit their lives. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and develop concrete behavioral skills for managing anxiety, depression, mood fluctuations, and many everyday challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) blends acceptance and change, teaching skills such as emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness that can be useful for impulsivity, strong mood swings, or overwhelming stress.

Finding the best fit is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to consider which approaches align with their goals, personal preferences, and the issues they bring, and then adapts the plan over time based on what proves most helpful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, enabling people to access care from different locations and at varied times. These options support continuity of work, let clients choose the communication style that suits them, and make it easier to integrate therapy into a busy life while still using evidence-informed therapeutic methods.
