About Andrew
Andrew Newhouse is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people facing stress, addiction, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship or family difficulties. He brings 14 years of clinical experience and a personal connection to grief work that shaped his decision to enter the field.
Background and approach
Based in Hawaii, he combines practical strategies with a compassionate, client-centered stance to address problems such as substance use, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. His approach draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior, alongside solution-focused and trauma-aware techniques tailored to each person’s situation.
Andrew values collaboration and works with clients to set concrete goals while also attending to the emotional and relational patterns that influence day-to-day functioning. He maintains licensure as an LMFT and applies lessons from long-term practice to support people dealing with caregiver stress, communication problems, impulsivity, social anxiety, and questions about life purpose.
Practical therapeutic approaches for online care
Andrew Newhouse commonly uses cognitive behavioral strategies to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is often applied to anxiety, depression, and patterns that maintain stress or addictive behaviors. He also integrates client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s own goals and strengths, creating space for empathy and collaborative problem solving. When trauma is a central concern, trauma-focused techniques are used to address the emotional and physiological impacts of past events and to build coping skills.Finding the right approach is explored together in the first sessions. Andrew works collaboratively with clients to determine which combination of methods fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress and priorities evolve. This means therapy is tailored rather than one-size-fits-all, and clients play an active role in shaping the work.
Online sessions include video calls, phone appointments, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility for different lifestyles and comfort levels. These options make it easier to schedule regular work, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access support from Hawaii without requiring travel, while still focusing on practical strategies and emotional growth.
