About Andrew

Andrew Miller is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, and parenting challenges. He also supports concerns like ADHD, sleep problems, self-esteem, anger, and coping with life changes. Andrew works with people who identify as LGBT and those dealing with guilt and shame or compassion fatigue.

Andrew keeps sessions straightforward and practical. He listens first, then helps people set clear goals.

Background and approach

He uses simple tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to change unhelpful thoughts and build calmer routines. He is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, which can be useful for processing traumatic memories. Andrew earned a Master of Social Work at Indiana University of South Bend and has five years of clinical experience in Northern Indiana.

He received his LCSW in 2019 and later obtained his LICSW, which allows him to serve clients in Massachusetts as well as Indiana. His credentials are MA LICSW LICSW127331 and IN LCSW 34008731A. Sessions are meant to be a collaborative effort.

He helps people notice patterns, try different coping strategies, and choose what fits their life. He aims to make the conversation low pressure and free of judgment. Outside of work Andrew enjoys Star Wars, Marvel, Disney, literature, and reading about philosophy and spirituality.

He is also pursuing further training and plans to pursue Play Therapy certification in the future.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building understanding so people can find their own answers; it is useful when someone needs a safe place to sort feelings and make decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical techniques for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. EMDR is a trauma-focused method trained in by Andrew that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest and try methods together. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust the plan if something does not feel helpful.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs and schedules. These options let people connect from home, keep sessions shorter or longer as needed, and continue work between meetings through messaging. The range of formats supports ongoing progress even when life is busy or travel is difficult.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
