About Andrew
Andrew Riehl is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with 14 years of professional experience in North Carolina. He focuses on practical support for common life stresses, including anxiety, depression, career concerns, and parenting. Andrew aims to create a respectful, down-to-earth space where people can talk through what feels most pressing in their lives.
He uses clear, collaborative talk rather than jargon. Sessions are shaped to each person’s needs and goals.
Background and approach
That can mean short-term problem solving or longer conversations about patterns and values. Andrew brings approaches that help people notice what works and build on it. He draws from client-centered methods to keep the conversation focused on the person, and from solution-focused techniques to identify small, practical steps forward.
Mindfulness practices are used when they help a person feel steadier in the moment. Over his career he has worked with concerns such as stress, grief, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. He also supports work on family-of-origin issues, fatherhood questions, and life purpose.
He tailors the pace and tools to fit each person’s situation. Sessions can be done in several online formats to fit busy lives. Parents and working professionals often choose options that let them meet when it’s most convenient.
He encourages starting with a short conversation to see if the style and plan feel right.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Andrew often uses client-centered therapy, which centers the conversation on the person’s priorities. That means the therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and helps the person steer sessions toward their own goals. It is useful for people who want a respectful, accepting space to sort things out.He also draws on solution-focused therapy to set clear, short-term goals and identify small steps that lead to change. This approach is practical and action-oriented, and it can help with problems like stress, career decisions, and everyday parenting challenges. Mindfulness techniques are added when helpful to manage strong emotions and build present-moment awareness.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work collaboratively to figure out which methods match the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time so the work stays relevant and useful.
Online sessions can be done by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and offer different ways to talk depending on comfort and schedule. Many people appreciate the flexibility of switching formats as their needs change.
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.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
Motivational Interviewing
A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
