About Andrew

He focuses on trauma and abuse, grief and loss, anger, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, stress, anxiety, relationship strains, and family concerns.

He has experience with dissociation, domestic violence impacts, and grief that follows illness such as cancer. This experience informs how he plans sessions and sets realistic short-term aims.
Andrew frames therapy as a collaborative process. He adjusts conversations and plans to address what matters most to each person. He aims to be straightforward about next steps and to help people try practical tools between sessions.

How sessions work
How Andrew integrates evidence-based techniques into online work
Andrew describes his approach as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques. One common method focuses on building concrete coping skills for stress and anxiety, teaching short exercises that people can practice between sessions to reduce reactivity and improve daily functioning. Another approach looks at emotion regulation and communication strategies to help when anger or relationship strain gets in the way of daily life.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit those priorities. Over time, he and the client review what helps and adjust the plan based on real-world results and personal preference.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule appointments around caregiving, work, or medical commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when bandwidth is limited or make it simpler to maintain continuity when life is busy. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to focus on skills, problem solving, and progress monitoring without requiring travel.
