About Andrew

Andrew Wynkoop is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in North Carolina with three years of professional experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, family and self-esteem issues, and depression. He also lists areas such as adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, communication problems, and mood disorders.

Before moving into his current work he spent time in school settings and community programs. That background means he has experience meeting people where they are and talking about everyday life. He draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and keeps sessions practical and straightforward.

In sessions he pays attention to what matters most at home. He helps people clarify goals, look at communication patterns, and address feelings like guilt, shame, emptiness, or loneliness. He also offers support around separation and divorce issues and problems that come from family of origin dynamics.

Andrew is comfortable addressing multicultural concerns and men's issues. He works with people dealing with intellectual disability or autism spectrum traits and helps navigate related social and behavioral challenges. His approach is matter-of-fact and focused on small, workable changes.

Sessions are conducted in English and he does not accept international clients. People who want to start are asked to use the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How sessions work

How his evidence-based approaches work online

Andrew describes his practice as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques. One common approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms. This kind of work aims at practical skills you can use between sessions, such as simple thought checks and behavioral experiments.

Another approach emphasizes improving communication and attachment patterns. That method looks at how people relate to close others and teaches ways to express needs and set boundaries. It can help with family of origin issues, separation-related stress, and improving day-to-day interactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means checking what helps, adjusting over time, and focusing on techniques that fit the person’s life.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals often use these practical advantages to keep therapy manageable alongside parenting, work, and other daily demands.
