Andrew Cuevas, LCSW

Andrew Cuevas is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with five years of experience. He helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and big life changes. He explains things plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

Andrew describes his style as collaborative and straightforward. Sessions are conversational and focused on understanding what is happening now. He looks for patterns that may be keeping someone stuck and works with them to try different, practical tools to change those patterns.

He draws on evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. That means sessions may include identifying unhelpful thoughts, learning concrete skills for managing strong feelings, and practicing new ways of responding to stress. Andrew avoids a one-size-fits-all plan and adapts techniques to each person's goals and circumstances.

Andrew also talks about emotions as useful information rather than proof that something is wrong. He helps people notice how they react to difficult feelings and build different responses over time. The focus is on small, real-world changes that make day-to-day life easier.

People who are unsure where to begin can start with what feels most pressing. Andrew guides the first steps and helps set manageable goals so progress can be tracked and adjusted. The work is paced to fit someone’s life and obligations.
