Background and approach
He also uses solution-focused techniques to set clear goals and Trauma-Focused Therapy when past wounds are getting in the way. His own experience with loss as a teen shapes his sense of empathy. That personal history is part of why he encourages people to reach out when they are struggling.
He frames therapy as a collaborative process where the client guides priorities and he offers options to try. Andrew has worked with many people dealing with substance use and family or relationship problems. He helps clients address communication problems, caregiver stress, impulsivity, and feelings of isolation.
Sessions aim to clarify small steps that can make daily life more manageable. Based in Hawaii, Andrew brings a calm, practical presence to remote sessions. He helps people set realistic goals, experiment with new ways of coping, and track progress over time.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Andrew uses client-centered therapy to begin most online relationships, which means sessions start by listening closely to what the person brings and responding to their priorities. This approach is useful for people who want an empathetic space to talk and set their own pace.He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT in online sessions often involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing small behavioral experiments between meetings to reduce anxiety and improve mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrew discusses options with each person and tailors techniques to match their goals and preferences. He treats the choice of methods as a collaboration rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people read facial cues and have longer conversations, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or share quick updates. These options make therapy more flexible and help people fit treatment into busy schedules.
