About Andrew
Andrew Riehl is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 14 years of experience. He focuses on anxiety and stress and helps people facing career strain, relationship friction, grief, depression, and parenting concerns. He aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and respectful.
He listens first and adapts his approach to each person. Sessions are relaxed and goal-focused, with room to talk through feelings and practical next steps.
Background and approach
He uses straightforward talk and gentle challenge to help people notice patterns and try new responses. Andrew often blends client-centered work with mindfulness and solution-focused techniques. That means he follows the person's concerns, teaches simple attention and breathing strategies, and helps set small, achievable goals to build momentum.
Motivational interviewing informs how he supports readiness for change without pressure. People reach out for help with anxiety, low self-esteem, burnout and compassion fatigue, ADHD-related struggles, and life transitions. He also addresses issues like body image, family of origin concerns, isolation, and questions about purpose and identity.
Conversations cover both feelings and practical steps forward. Sessions can include short skill-building exercises, reflective talk, and planning to test new behaviors between meetings. Andrew works in English and offers multiple online session formats to fit different schedules and needs.
How his approach works online
Andrew uses client-centered therapy to follow what matters most to the person in the room. That means sessions start with listening and asking questions that let the person set the pace and focus. This approach helps when worries or life changes feel overwhelming because it centers the conversation on what the client wants to address.He also uses mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and breathing exercises. These practices can reduce the intensity of anxious moments and help people notice thoughts without getting swept away by them. Mindfulness pairs well with setting small goals so progress can be noticed between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He will discuss options and decide together which methods fit the client's goals, needs, and comfort level. That collaborative planning helps tailor sessions to practical outcomes rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how and when people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for exercises, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging work well for brief check-ins or quick skill practice. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep work between sessions moving forward.
