Roger Andrews , LCSW

Roger Andrews is a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of experience offering counseling in Virginia. He helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, anger, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, and major life changes. He aims to make the first steps into therapy straightforward and respectful.

Andrews uses a blend of client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques. In sessions he listens first, then helps people set goals and try practical changes that fit their life. He emphasizes a nonjudgmental approach and treats people with dignity and respect.

His background includes long-term practice with mood disorders, substance-use struggles, and trauma-related concerns. That experience informs how he plans care and adjusts strategies as someone makes progress. He focuses on concrete skills for managing symptoms and on rebuilding daily routines when needed.

Sessions typically start by identifying immediate problems and priorities. From there he and the person create a plan with skills to try between meetings. He keeps the steps clear and helps people see small improvements over time.

Roger welcomes questions about what to expect and how sessions are structured. He asks people to describe their main concerns so he can match methods and goals to each situation. If you want to begin, he directs people through a simple start process to find a time to meet.

How Roger’s approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. It helps when someone needs time to talk through feelings and decide goals at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and habit changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Roger will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try based on their needs and goals. He checks in regularly and adjusts plans when something isn’t helping or when priorities shift.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as avoiding travel or using shorter check-ins during a break. It also lets people work with a licensed professional from anywhere within the region the therapist serves. Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current online options before booking to know what is offered and how to schedule.
