About Andrew

Andrew Berger is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with 23 years of professional experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression.

Background and approach

He emphasizes the client's own knowledge and strengths when addressing concerns such as codependency, communication problems, infidelity, midlife challenges, and issues tied to life purpose. His approach is grounded in respect for each person's story and a focus on practical steps forward.

Andrew blends client-centered principles with structured techniques to help clients manage symptoms and rebuild connection with their priorities. He draws on cognitive behavioral tools and solution-focused strategies to create focused, goal-oriented work, and he incorporates trauma-focused methods when safety and processing of difficult experiences are central.

Andrew encourages taking the first step toward therapy and aims to make that beginning feel manageable and respectful of each client's pace and resilience.

Approaches for Online Therapeutic Work



Andrew commonly integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered therapy in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and uses practical techniques to build alternative responses; it is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and the client's own expertise about their life, creating a collaborative, respectful space to explore goals and values.

Choosing the right method is part of the therapeutic process, and Andrew works with clients to determine which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He aims to tailor strategies collaboratively, adjusting pacing and techniques as the relationship develops.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and accessibility for people with varied routines. These formats allow for consistent, ongoing work without the need to travel, and they make it possible to use structured CBT exercises, reflective client-centered conversations, and solution-focused planning in ways that suit each client's life and availability.
