Q & A CounselingFor every journey. For everyone.

Online therapy across Minnesota

You don't have to keep carrying it by yourself.

I'm Quinnita Abraham, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families on what interferes with daily life — anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and family conflict.

Quinnita Abraham, LICSW

Is this you?

Some things you can manage on your own. Some things ask for company.

If you're looking for yourself

Something has been interfering with your daily life — worry that won't quiet down, a loss you haven't had room to feel, pressure at work or at home that's begun to cost you sleep. You've handled hard things before. This one hasn't moved, and you'd rather not keep problem-solving it alone.

If you're coming as a couple

Conflict has settled into a pattern the two of you can predict but can't interrupt. Maybe trust was broken, maybe distance grew quietly, maybe you're deciding whether to stay. Couples work gives that conversation a structure and a third person in the room who isn't taking sides.

If you're here for your teen — or the whole house

The door closes more than it used to. Grades slipped, or the friend group shifted, or every conversation lands the same way and nobody meant it to. You don't have to arrive with a diagnosis, or know whether this is one person's struggle or the household's pattern — sorting that out is what the first conversation is for.

About Quinnita

A whole person — not just a set of concerns.

My approach centers on helping people overcome the challenges that interfere with their daily lives while fostering resilience, insight, and meaningful change. I work to create a safe, nonjudgmental, culturally responsive space where you feel heard, respected, and able to explore your experience at your own pace. Treatment is integrative and tailored to your needs, strengths, and goals — drawing on motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered and trauma-focused work, family systems, and solution-focused therapy, along with psychoeducation, mindfulness strategies, and practical skill-building.

I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and an educator. Across my career I've worked extensively with children, youth, families, and adults from diverse cultural, religious, and socioeconomic backgrounds, in both urban and suburban communities — which has given me a broad perspective on what clinical practice looks like in real community settings. Alongside my practice, I've served as an adjunct faculty member at the University of St. Thomas for the past nine years.

Whatever brought you to this page, the first conversation is a short one and costs nothing.

Services

Support shaped around where you actually are.

01

Individual Therapy

For adults navigating anxiety, grief, stress, self-esteem, career questions, or a season asking more of you than you have. We name what's happening and build something you can actually use.

$100 per session
02

Couples Therapy

A steady, even-handed space to work through conflict, infidelity, separation, or the slow drift neither of you meant to happen. We look at the pattern, not just the last argument.

$150 per session
03

Therapy for Teens

School pressure, friendships, body image, learning differences, changes at home. A place to be honest and unmanaged, with room to say the thing they haven't said out loud yet.

$100 per session
04

Family Therapy

When the difficulty lives between people rather than inside one of them. Family systems work looks at roles, communication, and the patterns a household has fallen into — and what it would take to shift them.

$150 per session

Getting started

Three steps, no guesswork.

The first session will feel welcoming and supportive — an opportunity to build rapport, talk through what brings you in, and begin naming goals for treatment.

  1. A free 15-minute consultation

    We talk briefly about what's bringing you in and whether I'm the right fit. No pressure, no cost, no commitment.

  2. Your first session

    Welcoming and supportive, focused on getting to know you as a whole person — not just your concerns. I'll ask about what's happening now, your history, and what you hope to gain. You set the pace.

  3. Ongoing work, tailored to you

    From there we draw on whichever approaches fit your needs, and revisit your goals as the work goes on.

Good Faith Estimate

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining how much your care will cost. Under the No Surprises Act, health care providers must give people who are uninsured, or who are not billing their insurance, an estimate of the expected charges before services are scheduled. Ask for one at any point — and if you are billed for more than your estimate, you have the right to dispute the bill.

Questions & answers

Before you reach out.

It's in the name — Q & A is how this work begins.

The things people most often want to know before a first message. If yours isn't here, it's a good thing to bring to the consultation.

Do you see clients in person?

No — my practice is available online only. I see clients across Minnesota by video.

How long does therapy take?

That varies. We identify goals for treatment in your first session and revisit them as we go, so the length of our work follows what you actually need.

What ages do you work with?

Adolescents and adults — individually, as a couple, or as a family. In practice that's roughly age 13 and up; if your child is younger, ask and I'll help you find the right fit.

How long is a session, and how do they work?

Sessions are 50 to 60 minutes and happen by video, so you can join from wherever you feel comfortable. You'll get a link before we meet — there's nothing to install. The free consultation is a shorter 15-minute conversation.

What if I need to reschedule?

Life happens, and rescheduling is normal — just give me as much notice as you can, so the time can go to someone else. Appointments canceled with less than 24 hours' notice are charged the full session fee.

Is what I say confidential?

Yes. Sessions are confidential and protected by law, with narrow exceptions required of every Minnesota clinician — risk of serious harm to yourself or someone else, and suspected abuse or neglect of a child or vulnerable adult. I'll walk you through this in our first session.

What if I'm not sure therapy is right for me?

That's exactly what the free 15-minute consultation is for. You can ask questions, get a feel for how I work, and decide afterward — there's no obligation to book.

You don't have to go through it alone.
