About Andrew

Andrew Franks is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Colorado with three years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, LGBTQ concerns, relationships, and coping with life changes. Sessions focus on practical goals and clear steps clients can use between meetings.

Andrew approaches sessions collaboratively. He helps people name immediate problems, set short-term goals, and try concrete strategies. Conversations are direct and focused on what is getting in the way day to day. He pays attention to attachment patterns, blended family dynamics, commitment questions, and feelings of isolation.

He also helps clients navigate sexuality, polyamory or other non-monogamous arrangements, self-love, and issues common in young adults. Andrew frames these topics in ordinary terms and ties them to everyday routines, relationships, and responsibilities. He avoids jargon and keeps work practical.

Andrew uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and relationship patterns. Sessions typically include problem solving, skill practice, and reviewing progress toward goals. He encourages small experiments clients can try between sessions to test what works.

People who choose him often want straightforward support for mood, stress, or relationship concerns. He asks clear questions and helps clients track changes over time. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

BHow sessions work

How evidence-based techniques translate to online work

Andrew commonly draws on cognitive behavioral approaches that help people notice unhelpful thoughts and practice different responses. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress because it breaks problems into manageable steps and concrete skills to try between sessions.

He also uses dialectical behavioral techniques focused on emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. These methods teach short, practical skills for managing intense feelings and improving communication in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques to prioritize based on goals, day-to-day demands, and what feels practical. That means checking in about what is helpful and adjusting methods as therapy proceeds.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow follow-up check-ins without an extended commute. It can also let people choose interactions that match their needs - for example, shorter phone check-ins when bandwidth is limited or video sessions when visual cues are helpful.
