Background and approach

He often blends somatic work with other strategies to address both feelings and physical reactions. People who come to him bring concerns like attachment wounds, abandonment, communication problems, or issues tied to fatherhood and men’s roles. He also supports those dealing with OCD patterns, eating and food-related struggles, guilt and shame, and the fallout from divorce or separation.

His style is collaborative and direct. He listens for what matters to each person, then offers practical tools from therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Sessions move at a pace the client is comfortable with.

Andrew has three years of clinical experience and holds the Texas LCSW 111422 license. He focuses on helping people build skills, notice patterns that hold them back, and take steps toward a clearer sense of purpose and self-compassion.

How somatic and evidence-based approaches work online

Somatic work helps people notice how emotions show up in the body and learn gentle ways to release tension and regain calm. It can be useful for trauma, anxiety, and stress when physical reactions get in the way of daily life.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then choosing small actions that match what matters most. It is practical for people who want to stop struggling with unhelpful thoughts and start living with more purpose.

Client-centered therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the person’s own goals guide the work. This approach helps people feel heard and clear about the next steps they want to take.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to decide whether somatic techniques, ACT, or client-centered conversations - or a blend - best fit their needs and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family, or irregular schedules, and let people continue work between sessions using brief messages or chats when needed.
