About Andrea
Andrea Raasch is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Colorado and Florida with 29 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Andrea focuses on practical skills to help people manage strong emotions and get through difficult times.
Andrea uses a mix of evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, narrative approaches, solution-focused work, and trauma-focused methods. She pays attention to how the nervous system affects emotions and behavior, and she teaches regulation skills so people can think and act more clearly. Sessions include talking through problems, practicing specific skills, and finding workable options for everyday life.
Her approach is direct and collaborative. Andrea helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck and tries small, testable changes to see what helps. She encourages honest discussion of all parts of a person’s experience and works to reduce overwhelming reactions so people can access calmer thinking.
Andrea has long experience helping people restore a sense of balance after difficult events. She aims to support stronger decision making, improved mood, and clearer goals. Conversations can cover personal history, current stressors, and practical next steps.
Sessions are intended to be straightforward and problem-focused when that fits, and more exploratory when needed. Before booking, confirm current session options and formats to be sure they meet your needs.
BHow sessions work
How Andrea’s approaches translate to online work
Andrea commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try concrete behavior changes. CBT helps with anxiety, mood issues, and coping strategies by breaking problems into small, practical steps.She also draws on motivational interviewing to explore what matters to a person and to build motivation for change. This approach is useful when people feel stuck or unsure about next steps. Narrative therapy is used to look at the stories people tell about themselves and to open up different ways of seeing problems and strengths.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. Andrea will discuss what fits your goals and preferences and may combine methods to match your needs. The plan can change as you try different strategies and learn what helps.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family by reducing travel time and allowing check-ins from different locations. Some formats can be simpler for shorter progress reviews or when less bandwidth is available, while others support longer, more in-depth sessions. Discuss practical scheduling and format questions when you book to find what works for your routine.
