With 13 years of experience, Andrew draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations. He aims for clear goals and useful strategies rather than long lists of jargon. The work can include ways to manage overwhelming feelings, cope with loss, and reduce the pull of addictive behaviors.

People who choose him can expect straightforward talk about what’s getting in the way, and practical tools to try between sessions. He offers care in English and practices in Michigan as an LMSW, helping people focus on everyday next steps toward greater stability and calm.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Andrew uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in clear, practical terms. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. Another approach emphasizes building routines and behavioral steps to support mood regulation, manage impulses, and stabilize daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then suggest techniques to try. Together they monitor progress and adjust the plan to fit the client’s needs and pace.
