Nick Zeimet, LICSW - Therapist in Minnesota

About Nick

Nick Zeimet is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside a wide range of personal stresses. He draws on 12 years of experience to help people manage anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and addictive behaviors. He meets clients where they are and emphasizes steady, practical support over time.

In sessions he pays attention to how family and social connections shape a person’s difficulties. He works to build trust quickly and keeps conversations down to earth.

Background and approach

People can expect clear tools and straightforward conversation rather than jargon or long lectures. Nick uses several evidence-informed methods to address symptoms and patterns. He blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused techniques to help with mood, overwhelm, and relationship tension.

He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when people need help with strong emotions and coping strategies. His background is clinical social work and he holds a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker credential, LICSW. He practices in Minnesota and offers sessions in English.

Over the years he has worked with trauma-related issues and related challenges such as dissociation, guilt and shame, and obsessive-compulsive patterns. Therapy with him typically focuses on realistic steps you can take between sessions. He aims to make therapy useful for everyday life, helping clients try small changes that connect with family routines and relationships.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes values-driven action so clients can make meaningful changes even when emotions are intense. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and offers practical exercises to shift patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and obsessive habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. That conversation guides whether ACT, CBT, or other methods are emphasized so the plan fits the person’s life and family context.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when that matters, while phone, chat, and text can make it easier to fit help into a busy family schedule. These options make it simpler to keep momentum between sessions and to practice skills in real situations.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
