About Andrew

Andrew Roberts is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside a wide range of mental health issues. He helps people handle stress, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, grief, addiction, ADHD, relationship and intimacy problems, and parenting challenges. His style is direct and practical, aimed at giving parents clear tools they can use at home.

He trained in marriage and family therapy and has a decade of clinical experience working with teens and adults.

Background and approach

Early in his career he provided care in a residential setting for young people facing self-harm, aggression, mood instability, substance use, and personality challenges. That experience shaped how he approaches safety, boundaries, and crisis-related needs. In independent practice he sees teens and adults for trauma, mood disorders, and relationship issues.

He draws heavily on cognitive behavioral techniques and teaches mindfulness and dialectical behavior skills to help people manage emotions and make different choices in daily life. Sessions focus on practical skills, short-term strategies, and clearer communication. He also uses client-centered and psychodynamic ideas to understand a person’s history and attachment patterns.

That helps when family of origin issues, shame, or identity concerns are part of the problem. Andrew aims for a collaborative process where the parent or teen sets goals and tracks small, steady change. Sessions are offered in English and Andrew holds a Texas LMFT credential, TX LMFT 202405.

He works with clients remotely and with people who live outside the United States when scheduling permits.

Therapeutic approaches for online family and parenting work

Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding a person’s perspective and building on their strengths. It helps parents and teens feel heard and helps shape goals based on what matters most to them.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It teaches practical strategies for reducing anxiety, managing mood swings, and changing unhelpful habits that affect family life.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These techniques are useful when emotions run high or when impulsivity and self-harm are concerns.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will work with the client or parent to identify goals and try techniques that match their needs and preferences. Sessions often include skill practice, problem solving, and check-ins to see what is helping.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families. Video calls let participants see one another and practice communication in real time. Phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provide alternatives when schedules or travel make video difficult. These options help families stay consistent with care while balancing school, work, and home life.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
