About Andrew
Andrew Heinz is a licensed clinical social worker in Colorado with 16 years of experience. He focuses on helping people who feel stuck in painful patterns and who want practical ways to feel better and move forward. He speaks English and offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Andrew frames emotional wounds like physical injuries that need attention. He believes untreated pain can lead to confusing behavior and repeated harm to relationships or self.
How Andrew works
He aims to offer steady support while people learn different ways to respond to stress, grief, addiction, and intense emotions. In sessions he uses clear, goal-oriented work grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and draws on body-centered and relational ideas when helpful. He tends to focus on what is causing distress now and which skills can reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.
Treatment plans are practical and tailored to each person's concerns and pace. People come to him for a wide range of struggles including addiction, anxiety, panic, mood shifts, anger, parenting stress, career pressure, and issues around intimacy or attachment. He also addresses abandonment, codependency, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation, and fatherhood concerns.
Therapy starts with a focused review of recent problems and goals. From there he helps people build skills, try new ways of relating, and practice coping strategies between sessions. Sessions are offered in several online formats to fit different schedules and needs.

Online support options
Using CBT and online sessions to change patterns
Andrew primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and testing new ways of responding. CBT is practical for anxiety, panic, mood difficulties, and problems with impulsivity or substance use because it teaches step-by-step skills people can practice between sessions.He also integrates body-centered ideas to help people notice how stress shows up physically and to build tools for calming intense states. These approaches aim to link what someone thinks and feels with what they do, so they can interrupt destructive cycles and try different choices in daily life.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to current struggles, goals, and preferences and then recommend strategies to try. Plans are reviewed and adjusted together as progress and needs change.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit work into busy lives. Video lets people use visual cues; phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited; live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins or when typing feels more comfortable. These flexible formats help people maintain regular contact and practice skills between sessions.
