Background and approach
Andrew holds a Doctor of Philosophy in Rehabilitation Counseling and is a Licensed Professional Counselor. He has worked in university counseling centers and in the Texas prison system. That mix shaped his focus on real-world problems and practical skills.
He draws mainly on cognitive behavioral techniques to connect thoughts, feelings, and actions. He also uses client-centered and solution-focused ideas to shape treatment around each person's needs. Dialectical behavior ideas are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are priorities.
Clients can expect active problem-solving and skill building in sessions. Andrew pays attention to culture and communication patterns that affect daily life. He tailors plans to fit work, school, and family demands.
Work is offered from Texas and sessions are conducted in English. He brings nine years of experience to online and remote formats, helping people make steady progress without elaborate clinical jargon.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the individual's experience and on building a trusting conversation. It helps when people need a supportive space to sort feelings and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and uses practical exercises to change patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or anger.Choosing an approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk through goals, try an approach, and adjust if something is not working. That collaboration helps match methods to the person's needs and preferences rather than forcing a single model.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth sessions and visual cues. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat or text messaging fit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when writing down thoughts feels easier. These options make therapy more flexible for work, school, or busy schedules and let a person continue work from Texas without commuting.
