Andrea Raasch, LCSW, CSW

Andrea Raasch is a licensed clinical social worker with nearly three decades of practice. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Andrea works to help people regain calm and clarity so they can make decisions from a steadier place.

Andrea uses a straightforward, body-aware approach. She pays attention to how the nervous system affects thoughts and feelings. Together with clients she aims to reduce overwhelm so clear thinking can return and daily life feels more manageable.

Her style is collaborative and practical. Sessions may include talking through patterns, building skills to manage distress, and finding solutions that come from the client’s own goals. She also helps people identify sources of shame, loneliness, or workplace strain and address them step by step.

Andrea draws on several approaches to guide the work, including cognitive behavioral ideas, motivational interviewing, narrative methods, solution-focused techniques, and trauma-focused therapy. She blends these to match what each person needs and prefers.

Andrea holds LCSW and CSW credentials and practices in Colorado. She offers a respectful space where all parts of a person are welcome, and she aims to support restoration of balance, confidence, and self-connection.

How her methods translate to online work

Andrea often uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to change them. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and managing everyday stress.

She also draws on trauma-focused therapy to support people who have experienced abuse or other traumatic events, working carefully to reduce overwhelm and build tolerance for difficult memories and feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will listen to your goals and preferences and then suggest strategies that fit your needs, adjusting as progress is made. This is a collaborative process where your feedback guides the plan.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people choose quieter surroundings or opt out of video during moments when less visual focus helps.
