Background and approach
That can mean shorter skill practice, pacing difficult memories, or making a clear plan for managing spikes of strong emotion.

He also addresses personality-related struggles and problems that can follow abuse or dissociation. Andrew emphasizes collaboration. He supports people in naming goals, testing what helps, and adjusting methods when needed.

Online support
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Andrew uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in straightforward ways. For people dealing with trauma and abuse, therapy often includes paced exposure to difficult memories and learning grounding skills to manage distress. That approach helps reduce the hold of painful memories over daily life and supports safer processing of trauma.For grief and loss, sessions emphasize meaning, memory, and practical routines that restore daily functioning. Work can include naming what’s most painful, trying small behavioral changes, and creating a plan for significant dates or transitions. These steps aim to make grief more manageable without rushing the process.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, what has helped before, and any limits on time or energy. Together they test methods, adjust pace, and pick techniques that fit the person’s life and preferences.
Online sessions offer flexibility and accessibility. Video calls let people read nonverbal cues and hold deeper conversations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, skill practice, and steady contact between appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy part of a regular routine.
