Andrew Donelan, LCSW-C

Andrew Donelan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) based in Maryland with 33 years of experience. He focuses on addictions, relationships, family matters, trauma and abuse, and parenting concerns. He uses approaches such as mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people sort through problems at home and rebuild everyday functioning.

Andrew works with individuals to identify goals and practical next steps. He takes a strengths-based, client-centered approach and offers strategies and advice aimed at improving family and peer relationships, emotional health, and day-to-day quality of life. He also has experience supporting people with dual diagnosis treatment needs.

In sessions he helps clients develop clearer communication and coping skills. He talks through stress management, anxiety, depression, and issues linked to addiction recovery. He also addresses family problems like blended family dynamics, fatherhood issues, divorce and separation, and forgiveness.

Andrew includes mindfulness practices alongside cognitive-behavioral methods. That combination is used to notice patterns, try different responses, and practice new habits between sessions. The focus is on practical tools people can use at home and work.

For people facing midlife questions, control or impulsivity struggles, jealousy, or the fallout from infidelity or domestic violence, he offers steady, experience-based support. He also assists with end-of-life and hospice-related concerns, helping clients manage related emotions and decisions.
