About Andrew

Andrew Newhouse is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 14 years of clinical experience. He helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anger, anxiety, substance use, grief, or changes in relationships. His style is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Andrew came to therapy after losing his mother as a teen. That experience shaped his belief in the value of listening and practical support. He trained in marriage and family therapy and has since worked with many people facing trauma, addiction, depression, and family conflict.

In sessions he blends client-centered listening with clear techniques from cognitive behavioral approaches. That means he listens first, then helps clients try new ways of thinking and acting that can reduce symptoms and improve daily life. He also draws from solution-focused ideas to set short-term, manageable goals.

Andrew has practiced across several states and brings a calm, steady presence to the room. He encourages people to take small, achievable steps when emotions feel big. He also supports parents and caregivers dealing with role strain and stress.

People can expect practical tools, coached skill practice, and a focus on real-life behavior changes. If someone wants to explore how anger, anxiety, or substance use fit into their life, Andrew offers attention to both feeling and action. He encourages prospective clients to begin with a short questionnaire and a scheduling step to find a good match.

How Andrew’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Andrew uses client-centered therapy to prioritize what each person needs in the moment, offering a listening stance that helps the client set the pace and topics. This approach supports people who need a calm space to talk through strong feelings like anger or grief.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on recognizing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT is practical for anxiety, depression, and substance use because it breaks problems into steps you can practice between sessions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Andrew will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences, and will adjust plans as progress is made.
