About Roger
Roger Andrews is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Virginia with 13 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, self-esteem issues, career stress, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.
He uses a mix of client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Sessions focus on practical steps - talking through current problems, identifying patterns, and trying small changes to reduce distress. Conversations are straightforward and goal-focused rather than academic.
In practice he listens to what matters most to the person and builds a plan together. That plan can include skills for managing strong feelings like anger, strategies for handling setbacks, and ways to change unhelpful thinking. He emphasizes clear tools people can use between sessions.
Roger has experience working with people who struggle with substance use and with mood conditions such as bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. He also supports those dealing with trauma-related symptoms and major life transitions. His background includes outpatient counseling and psychotherapy over more than a decade.
People who want to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The process leads into a collaborative plan that addresses immediate concerns and practical next steps.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a plan that reflects what matters to the person. In practice this means sessions start by hearing your goals and concerns, then shaping goals together to tackle anger, stress, or relationship strain.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. CBT sessions teach concrete skills such as recognizing automatic thoughts, testing assumptions, and practicing alternative responses when anger rises. These are useful for anxiety, depression, and impulse-related problems.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide whether more client-centered conversation, CBT skills training, or a blend best fits the goals and daily life. That decision can change over time as progress is reviewed.
