Andrew Donelan

Andrew Donelan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) with 33 years of experience. He focuses on helping people facing relationship strain, addictions, trauma, parenting challenges, and divorce and separation. His work centers on practical steps clients can take to feel steadier at home and in relationships.

He uses a client-centered style that starts with the person in front of him. Sessions emphasize strengths and real-world strategies rather than labels. He encourages clients to set clear goals for healing, growth, and improved communication.

Andrew blends mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral approaches into his work. Mindfulness helps people notice moments of stress without reacting. Cognitive-behavioral methods break down unhelpful thoughts and habits into manageable changes.

He has experience supporting people with dual diagnosis treatment needs and addiction recovery concerns. He also offers guidance around grief, midlife transitions, fatherhood issues, and the practical fallout of infidelity and domestic violence. His approach aims to restore more stable routines and healthier interactions.

Andrew offers virtual visits when requested. He works with each person to build coping skills and clearer communication. His goal is to help clients find balance and move toward the everyday life they want.

How his approaches work in online therapy

Andrew combines mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral ideas in brief, practical ways. Mindfulness work teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and increase calm during stressful interactions. Cognitive-behavioral techniques look at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and replace them with manageable experiments and new routines.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. He will work with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, life demands, and comfort level. Sessions focus on what will help most right now, and the plan can change as progress is made.

Andrew offers virtual visits when requested, so confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow quick check-ins during transitions. They also let people use quieter settings or phone-only options when video is not needed. The therapist will discuss which format best supports a client's goals during the first meeting.
