About Charles
Andrew centers therapy around practical conversations about thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. He commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and practice different ways of responding. Motivational Interviewing is another tool he uses to support change when motivation feels stuck.
His style is both empathetic and direct. He frames therapy as a collaborative effort and invites clients to set goals and try manageable steps between sessions. When appropriate, he shares personal experiences to normalize struggles and model coping ideas.
Andrew also brings attention to relational and life-cycle concerns such as attachment issues, fatherhood challenges, divorce and separation, and family problems. He supports people wrestling with body image, eating and food-related issues, codependency, commitment and control issues, and feelings of emptiness.
Clients can expect discussions rooted in faith when that is meaningful to them, alongside practical exercises from CBT and ACT. The focus is on helping people rediscover hope, rebuild confidence, and take small, steady steps toward the life they want.
How his approaches guide online work
Andrew commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in sessions. ACT emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that align with personal values. It can help when worry, shame, or confusion make it hard to move forward. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying different behaviors to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change patterns that cause stress.He also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find and strengthen their reasons for change. That approach is useful when mixed feelings or low motivation make it hard to start new habits. Together these methods give practical options to try between sessions and clear ways to track progress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, values, and daily life. Sessions are shaped by what feels most helpful, and adjustments are made as needs change.
