About Dieudonne
Dr. Dieudonne Asambang is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Minnesota with nine years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting, anger, career strain, and compassion fatigue. He also works with issues like body image, codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, immigration-related concerns, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, money difficulties, self-love, and social anxiety.
Dr. Asambang draws on client-centered techniques to create a straightforward atmosphere for talking through problems. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and shift thinking patterns that keep them stuck. He also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy elements when those approaches fit the situation.
His background includes graduate work in clinical mental health and addiction counseling and additional training in school counseling and life and mental health coaching. He is pursuing a PhD in Guidance and Counseling Psychology, which informs his approach to assessment and treatment planning.
In sessions he balances practical skill-building with personal story work. Expect clear strategies for managing distress alongside conversations about values, identity, and relationship dynamics. He aims to help people develop tools they can use between visits.
People who struggle with people-pleasing, boundaries, or living with someone else's substance use will find focused attention on patterns and coping skills. The focus is on realistic steps to reduce overwhelm and regain more control over everyday decisions.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. Online conversations can still center the client's concerns and values while the therapist follows the client's pace and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and then tests small changes. Online sessions can include worksheets, behavioral experiments to try between meetings, and step-by-step practice for anxiety, mood, and codependency-related patterns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can be taught in session and practiced between appointments to help with overwhelming emotions and boundary-setting.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches and exercises fit their goals and preferences. That process may shift over time as needs change.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions are simpler to schedule around work, childcare, or other obligations.
