How his approaches translate to online work
Andrew blends Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) into practical online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening closely to what matters most to the person and shaping sessions around those priorities. CBT helps identify and change thoughts and behaviors that make problems worse, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep issues. DBT offers concrete emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills for strong feelings and relationship conflicts.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with clients to decide which techniques fit their goals and day-to-day life. That shared process may shift over time as needs change and progress is made.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats were not specified in the biography.
