- LCSW, LICSW
My name is Tobias (He/Him/His). I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Minnesota and North Dakota with 13 years of professional work experience.
I have clinical experience in helping clients with all sorts of challenges in life such as, coping with disabilities (especially with hearing loss and cerebral palsy), managing depression, intimacy related issues (more than the one type of intimacy that most people think of), overcoming less-effective coping strategies, life changing events, relationship issues, & stress and anxiety to name a few.
My therapeutic approach follows evidence-based therapeutic interventions, which include: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person Centered/Strengths Based, Psychodynamic, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Emotion Regulation Skills System.
I have many roles in life, in addition to being a therapist, I was born in the United States, I am white, and an English speaker. I have a minor disability since birth. I am a son and a brother in a blended family. I am also an advocate, a father, a friend, a mentor, a student of life, as well as a teacher by heart.
I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion regardless of your background, BIPOC, creed, disability, LGBTQIA+, alternative lifestyle, or religion. I also strive to be culturally affirming and respect the positive elements that all cultures can provide to a client's sense of well-being. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage, and I am glad that you are seeking support at this time. Let's get started!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Only one session, but so far, off to a great start!
Tobias seems very understanding and capable. I trust his knowledge. So far, so good.
I’ve never done therapy before. Tobias has made it as comfortable as it could possibly be.
Great therapist thus far
Tobias is a kind-hearted and insightful therapist. He is prompt, he is professional, and he is organized in my treatment. I look forward to our sessions, and I will happily continue to see him.
Tobias has good insight. I feel he has been very helpful.
I have met with Tobias 3 times now and he has been so much help. He has offered great work sheets and book book references for me go to go over between our appointments, he reviews the worksheets and offers great feedback, all with in timely manner. He really listens and has helped me in so many ways I can’t explain. I look forward to what the future holds working with him.
In just my first 2 sessions I’ve learned a great deal about myself and even more about how much I need to work on myself. I’ve regained a sense of self worth, even though I’m aware that I have much further to go. Tobias has been a true God send.
Tobias has been very helpful and through with my mental health issues. He is very knowledgeable and professional, I have actually recommend Tobias to another coworker of mine.
