About Roger
Roger Andrews is a licensed clinical social worker with more than 13 years of experience. He helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, substance use, and big life changes. He also supports those coping with relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem concerns, career stress, and mood conditions like bipolar disorder.
He uses a mix of client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques during sessions. That means conversations focus on the person's goals while also working on practical thoughts-and-behaviors strategies.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and focused on what the person wants to change. Roger describes his approach as compassionate and nonjudgmental. He treats people with respect and works with them to build a plan that fits their needs and daily life.
That plan may include short-term skills for coping and longer-term goals for steady progress. Over his career he has worked with people facing trauma-related issues and with those dealing with addiction or severe mood symptoms. His experience includes supporting people through adjustment challenges and helping them reestablish routines and healthy habits.
Roger is based in Virginia and holds the Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, LCSW. He conducts sessions in English and offers several online formats to fit different schedules and preferences.
How Roger uses client-centered work and CBT online
Roger uses client-centered techniques to create a respectful, goal-focused conversation where the person sets priorities and the therapist listens closely to understand those goals. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive place to talk through feelings and decide what they want to change.He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, mood shifts, and unhelpful behaviors. CBT style work is useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with cravings or mood symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can shift as progress is made or priorities change.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different lives. Video is good for longer talk therapy, phone can be a lower-bandwidth option, and chat or messaging can work for quick check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping care consistent.
