About Andrew
Andrew Newhouse is a licensed marriage and family therapist who offers supportive, practical care for people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, parenting challenges, anger, depression, and relationship or family difficulties. He keeps talk focused and direct. Sessions aim to find doable steps that make day-to-day life feel more manageable.
He speaks in plain language and listens for what matters most to each person. Andrew trained after a personal loss that led him to therapy as a teen.
Background and approach
That experience shaped his belief in compassionate, steady guidance. Over 14 years in practice he has worked with many people facing substance use struggles, trauma, grief, and changes in family life. His background includes hands-on clinical work and a range of therapeutic methods.
In sessions he draws from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. He also uses solution-focused and trauma-focused approaches when they fit the situation. The emphasis is on clear goals and small, practical moves that can reduce distress and improve relationships.
Andrew holds the Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist credential. He practices in Hawaii and conducts sessions in English. He aims to make starting therapy straightforward, helping clients set priorities and try steps that fit their daily routines.
His approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. He offers a calm presence and concrete tools to help people cope with grief, addiction, ADHD, life transitions, and the stress of caregiving and family conflict.
Therapy approaches that translate well online
Client-centered therapy centers the conversation on the client. The therapist listens closely, reflects what he hears, and helps you name what matters most. This approach is useful for building trust and sorting out priorities when life feels overwhelming.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It breaks problems into small, manageable steps and can help with anxiety, depression, and difficult habits like substance use.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and comfort level. That might mean combining listening-focused work with practical CBT strategies or using trauma-focused techniques when past hurt needs careful attention.
Online sessions offer flexibility for people with busy lives or caregiving responsibilities. Video calls let you meet face-to-face from home, phone sessions provide a simpler option, and live chat or text-based messaging can support ongoing check-ins between sessions. These formats make it easier to maintain momentum and try new skills in real time while still working with a licensed professional.
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.
Solution-Focused Therapy
Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
