Andrew Riehl, LCMHC

Andrew Riehl is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. He brings 14 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and career challenges. He talks simply and directly, and aims to treat people with respect and compassion.

He focuses on practical, everyday concerns like relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, anger, and feelings of isolation. He also supports people coping with ADHD, body image worries, jealousy, and questions about life purpose. Andrew adapts sessions to the person in front of him instead of using one fixed method.

Andrew uses a client-centered stance that keeps the conversation grounded in the person's priorities. He draws on mindfulness practices to help people calm their attention and notice patterns that get in the way. He also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas to help people set realistic steps and test what works.

In sessions he listens first, then works with each person to build a clear plan that fits their daily life. Conversations cover practical coping skills, small experiments to try between meetings, and ways to shift thinking that causes distress. The pace and focus change based on what the individual needs.

Taking that first step can feel hard. Andrew aims to make the process manageable and straightforward, offering steady support as people work toward clearer goals and better day-to-day functioning.

How Andrew's Methods Translate to Online Care

Andrew uses client-centered therapy to keep sessions focused on what matters most to the individual, encouraging honest conversation and collaborative goal setting. Mindfulness therapy is used to help people notice how thoughts and feelings show up in the moment and to build simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences so the plan fits daily life. That way people can try techniques and adjust them as they go.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what's offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, avoid travel time, and use brief check-ins when a shorter conversation helps. It can also allow people to practice skills in their normal routines and bring real-life examples into sessions for discussion.
