About Andrew
Andrew Jerusik is a licensed professional counselor with 29 years of experience who helps people facing relationship and intimacy-related concerns. He focuses on practical ways to ease anxiety, improve communication, and rebuild trust in close relationships. He speaks English and practices in Colorado.
Andrew centers sessions on listening first and then working together to find what helps. He encourages clients to point out what they want to change and builds small, doable steps toward those goals.
Background and approach
He emphasizes strengths people already have and uses straightforward tools to reduce overwhelming feelings. His work often addresses problems like abandonment, attachment struggles, and communication problems. He also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, isolation, depression or panic attacks.
Men’s issues, self-love, and social anxiety are other areas he commonly addresses. Andrew draws from several approaches to match the person and the problem. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful patterns, Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach skills for emotion regulation, EMDR for processing past distress, and the Gottman Method for practical relationship work.
He blends methods to fit each person’s needs. Sessions may include talking through recent events, trying new communication exercises, and practicing skills between meetings. He asks questions, offers feedback, and helps people track small wins.
The pace and focus are set together so progress feels manageable.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. Online CBT often includes brief exercises, thought records, and homework to practice between sessions, which helps with anxiety and mood concerns.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. In remote sessions these skills are taught step-by-step and practiced with role plays or short coaching between meetings to manage intense feelings.
EMDR is used to process distressing memories and reduce their impact. Remotely, EMDR-style work can include guided eye movements or other bilateral stimulation and is paced carefully to match the client’s comfort when addressing past events.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try approaches that seem to fit, and adjust based on how things are working. Clients help set priorities and choose whether to focus on skills practice, memory work, or relationship exercises.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and coaching. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat or text messaging can provide short check-ins, reminders, or brief coaching between full sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between appointments.
