Andrew Donelan practices with a client-centered focus, offering counseling to individuals, couples, and families from diverse backgrounds. He blends a strength-based perspective with practical strategies to help people address the issues most important to them and to move toward measurable improvements in relationships, emotional wellbeing, and everyday functioning at home, work, or school.

He brings experience working with clients who have dual diagnosis needs and provides support across concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, ADD/ADHD, trauma and abuse, addiction recovery, loss and separation, lifestyle transitions, and family relationship challenges. His work often centers on helping clients develop better communication and coping skills while pursuing goals of healing, growth, and greater balance in life.

Therapeutic methods include mindfulness practices and cognitive-behavioral techniques, used alongside a client-centered, strength-based orientation that emphasizes each person or family member's existing resources. He holds an MD (Doctor of Medicine) and is credentialed as an LCSW-C - a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with clinical certification - reflecting both medical and social work training. Virtual visits are available upon request, and he welcomes the opportunity to support clients seeking to build resilience and healthier connections.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Care

Cognitive-behavioral therapy helps clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is practical and goal-oriented, often used for concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with impulsivity or addiction. Mindfulness-based practices cultivate present-moment awareness and stress regulation through attention and breathing skills. These techniques can support emotional regulation, reduce reactivity, and complement other therapies for trauma, grief, or relationship strain. A strength-based, client-centered approach focuses on each person or family's existing resources and goals, building on what is working well to foster resilience and healthier relationships.

Finding the right approach is an interactive process. Andrew Donelan works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time to support progress. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved in treatment planning and empowered in their change process.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access care from home or elsewhere. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, allow continuity of care across life transitions, and make it possible to receive consistent therapeutic support without travel.
