About Luke

Luke Borkenhagen is a licensed social worker based in Minnesota who brings five years of professional experience to his clinical practice. He holds an MSW, a Master of Social Work degree, and LICSW licensure, which stands for Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, reflecting advanced training in clinical practice and assessment. Luke works with adults across a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, anger, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, coping with life changes, relationship and family difficulties, intimacy-related issues, and compassion fatigue.

Framed as a collaborative guide, Luke emphasizes partnership and empowerment, offering attentive listening, fresh perspectives, and support for stepping beyond familiar comfort zones. His practice integrates somatic awareness, parts work using the Internal Family Systems model, and archetypal psychology to explore how internal dynamics and external circumstances shape well-being and personal growth. He also addresses attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress, substance use concerns, dissociation, and other complex life challenges that affect functioning and relationships.

Luke aims to help clients clarify values, build coping skills, and pursue meaningful change at a pace that fits their needs. He welcomes conversations about whether his approach and experience would be a good fit for someone seeking support on their path forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Luke integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy into his online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and focuses on choosing actions that align with personal values to manage anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in close relationships and how early bonds influence trust, intimacy, and conflict resolution, which can be especially helpful for relationship concerns and attachment issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathic stance in which the therapist follows the client’s lead, supports self-exploration, and helps strengthen self-understanding and autonomy.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the therapeutic process. Luke works collaboratively with each person to identify goals, assess what resonates, and adapt methods to match individual needs and preferences so that the plan fits the client rather than the other way around.

Online therapy with Luke offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access consistent support from licensed professionals regardless of location within Minnesota.
