About
Life is hard, and connection and vulnerability take courage. Through the power of sharing your story, we can make life feel less like you are losing the battle and more like you are the hero.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 14 years of experience providing compassionate, evidence-based care to individuals navigating life’s challenges. I specialize in supporting clients managing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and self-esteem concerns. I am dedicated to creating a safe, affirming space where healing, growth, and self-discovery can occur through insight, empowerment, and mindful awareness.
I earned my master’s in social work from Loyola University of Chicago and my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. My therapeutic approach is eclectic, integrating acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and trauma-focused therapy.
I believe self-awareness is the foundation of change. My role is to guide clients toward understanding their emotions, cultivating self-compassion, and taking purposeful steps toward healing. Together, we build resilience and confidence to move through pain, discover inner strength, and create a more fulfilling, balanced life.

Esteban Minsk is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with over 9 years of experience working as a psychotherapist and readjustment counselor. He has worked with adult and senior-aged clients that are experiencing a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, grief/loss, life challenges, and end-of-life issues.
The main focus of his practice has been working with clients who have experienced trauma in their lives, whether it be physical, sexual, or emotional. Esteban is a compassionate, caring, and empathetic counselor with first-hand experience with the benefits that counseling can provide. As a therapist, he is a strong believer in education, and before introducing any type of therapeutic approach, Esteban will fully explain to you the process, and ask you to personally do some research so that if you have any questions, he will be able to answer them upfront.
Esteban knows that it can be scary and difficult to take the first step towards receiving treatment, but you will get through your challenges together. The process of change takes time and perseverance, but he wants you to know that he'll be there with you. At times, change might seem unattainable, but if you commit to implementing the things you agree upon together, change will start to occur.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

OCD counseling is a specialized therapeutic approach aimed at supporting individuals coping with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The goal of this counseling is to help clients manage and alleviate the distressing symptoms of OCD by systematically addressing their obsessive thought patterns and compulsive behaviors.
In OCD counseling, Thriveworks Winston-Salem therapists use cognitive behavioral techniques, including exposure and response prevention, to assist you in addressing and managing your obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. An OCD therapist will collaborate with you to identify and modify irrational thought patterns while gradually and gently exposing you to anxiety-triggering situations, helping to disrupt the cycle of obsessive-compulsive rituals and promote healthier coping strategies.
Thriveworks OCD counseling in Winston-Salem, NC is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The number of sessions for OCD counseling is variable, contingent upon the individual’s unique needs, the severity of their condition, and their progress during treatment. Typically, Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), commonly used for OCD, comprises around 12 to 16 weekly sessions, but the exact session count can be customized based on the individual’s response to treatment and therapeutic objectives. Some opt for a more extended duration to comprehensively manage symptoms and address complex issues.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
