His additional focus areas include aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life counseling, first responder and veteran concerns, and issues related to impulsivity, guilt, and shame. He also has experience with dissociation, domestic violence, and personality concerns such as avoidant and antisocial traits.

BHow sessions work
Approaches used in remote sessions
Andrew uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to keep conversations focused and practical. One common approach involves skills-based work to manage strong emotions and reduce reactivity; this helps when anger, panic, or mood swings get in the way of daily life. Another approach emphasizes processing trauma and loss through structured conversations and pacing that match what the person can handle; this can help with grief, abuse recovery, and compassion fatigue.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit a client's needs, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. The process is collaborative and focused on measurable steps and coping strategies.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the profile does not list exact options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during workday breaks or between appointments. They can also support people who live far from in-person services or who have caregiving and health responsibilities that make leaving home difficult.
