About Andrew
Andrew Donelan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) who focuses on work and wellbeing alongside relationships and family concerns. He helps people who are dealing with addiction, trauma, relationship strain, or parenting stress. His style is practical and strengths-based, with an emphasis on steady progress toward clearer goals.
He asks about the current problems and what a better day looks like. Sessions center on building skills that can be used right away, such as coping tools, communication habits, and ways to manage impulses. Andrew uses mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral-informed techniques to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses.
Andrew has three decades of clinical experience, so he draws on many years of work with people facing complicated life issues. That background includes supporting those with co-occurring mental health and substance use needs. He aims to combine practical steps with attention to the person’s strengths and values.
In sessions he encourages clients to set realistic goals for healing, growth, and improved relationships. He often works on stress management, anxiety, depression, and addiction recovery support. Clients also address midlife challenges, fatherhood concerns, blended family issues, and separation or divorce questions.
Virtual visits are available on request. To begin, the usual next step is to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability. Andrew offers a straightforward, steady approach focused on day-to-day improvements in work, home, and relationships.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Andrew uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice their thoughts, body sensations, and emotional reactions in day-to-day life. Mindfulness work teaches short exercises and simple practices that can reduce reactivity and improve focus, which often helps with stress, impulsivity, and relationship conversations.He also applies cognitive-behavioral strategies that break down problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. These steps make it easier to test new behaviors, shift unhelpful thinking, and build practical coping strategies for anxiety, depression, or addictive urges.
Finding the right way to work is a collaborative process. The therapist talks with each person about goals, tries different approaches, and adjusts methods based on what helps most. Clients and clinician decide together which techniques fit the situation and daily life demands.
Virtual visits are offered on request, so confirm specific session options when you schedule. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family responsibilities, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Ask about the available formats and how they might be scheduled to suit your routine.
