Gabrielle (Gabbi) Schwenzfeier, LICSW

Gabrielle (Gabbi) Schwenzfeier is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Minnesota who brings a practical, person-focused approach to mental health care. She has practiced across multiple settings - including in-home services, schools, and residential treatment centers - and uses individual, family, and group therapy to address a wide range of concerns. Her experience spans working with clients of all ages from children to older adults, and she routinely supports people managing depression, anxiety, trauma, OCD, substance use concerns, bipolar disorder, and borderline personality features, as well as parental attachment and parenting skills.

Gabbi earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from St. Catherine University and completed a Master of Social Work at the University of St. Thomas in 2017. Her clinical training and five years of professional experience inform a collaborative style that centers each person’s expertise about their own life. She often draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to explore links between thinking and behavior, Dialectical Behavior Therapy for skills like mindfulness and distress tolerance, and Solution-Focused and narrative techniques to set goals and process trauma.

Clients are invited to guide the depth and pace of work, and she welcomes conversations about scheduling when availability is limited. Outside of her practice, Gabbi enjoys spending time outdoors, exercising, and being with family. She is accepting new clients, including international clients, and offers flexible session formats to meet differing needs.
