About Roger

Roger Andrews is a licensed clinical social worker in Virginia. He offers help for stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship trouble, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, low self-esteem, career concerns, bipolar disorder, and coping with big life changes. His tone is calm and straightforward, aimed at people who want practical support.

He brings 13 years of hands-on experience in counseling and psychotherapy. That experience includes work with people facing depression, anxiety, adjustment problems, and trauma-related concerns.

Background and approach

He has also supported individuals dealing with substance use and addiction and those managing bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Roger uses a blend of client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT. In sessions he listens first, then helps shape small, doable steps that match a person's life and goals.

The focus is on what feels useful and realistic day to day. He aims to be compassionate and nonjudgmental and treats people with dignity and respect. Together with each person he develops a treatment plan that fits their needs rather than applying one fixed approach.

For people seeking steady support through change, Roger offers clear guidance and practical tools. He encourages questions and works at a pace that feels manageable for each person.

Approaches and online options for practical change

Roger blends client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to help people address stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, trauma, and life transitions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and helping the person feel understood so they can find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Roger will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and will tailor methods to what seems most helpful. The plan can change over time as goals shift and progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home. Phone sessions work when video is not convenient. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or communicate in shorter bursts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity of care when schedules 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.

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.
