About Andrew
He trained in marriage and family therapy and has ten years of clinical experience. Early in his career he worked at a residential treatment center with adolescents who presented with severe behavior and mood concerns. That work included supporting young people through self-harm, substance use, and intense interpersonal conflict.
In private practice he shifted to seeing teens and adults for trauma, mood disorders, and relationship concerns. His approach draws heavily on cognitive-behavioral methods and includes skills from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness. He adapts methods to fit the person and the problem rather than using a single technique for everyone.
Sessions emphasize practical skills for managing anxiety and mood, clearer communication in close relationships, and building routines for sleep and self-care. He also addresses attachment patterns, family of origin dynamics, and coping after disasters or losses when those issues come up.
Andrew holds a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy and practices as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Texas. He offers services in English and accepts clients from outside the United States when appropriate.

Approaches used in online therapy and what they offer
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people feel heard, so the person sets goals and the therapist follows the person's lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts and behaviors into manageable parts and teaches practical skills for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines mindfulness with concrete coping skills for intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship conflict.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust over time based on what helps. That way therapy stays practical and tailored to day-to-day needs rather than fixed to one style.
Confirm current session options before booking, as the therapist's profile does not list specific formats here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed, and making scheduling around work or school simpler. Some formats also reduce bandwidth needs or let people keep video off when they prefer, which can make sessions feel more manageable. Licensed professionals can use these options to help people practice skills, manage anxiety, and work through relationship or trauma-related concerns without changing the clinical methods.
