About Andrew
Andrew Newhouse is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Hawaii.

He also works with concerns like parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and trauma-related issues.
He brings 14 years of clinical experience to sessions. His own experience with loss as a teenager shaped why he chose therapy work, and he aims to listen with patience and directness.
How Andrew works

Andrew uses approaches that include client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused work, and trauma-focused methods. He adapts techniques to what each person needs, matching strategies to the problem at hand.
The goal is to make therapy useful in everyday life. People can expect a calm, goal-oriented style that emphasizes problem solving and emotional processing. He addresses addictive behaviors alongside anxiety and mood concerns, and he helps people find ways to manage impulsivity, isolation, and caregiver stress.

How Andrew’s Methods Work Online
Andrew often draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening, acceptance, and following the client's lead to clarify goals and feelings. This approach is useful when someone needs a compassionate space to talk through grief, relationship stress, or life transitions.He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT techniques are practical and can help with anxiety, low mood, impulsivity, and some addiction-related habits by teaching manageable skills to try between sessions.
Choosing the right method is collaborative. Andrew will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then tailor techniques to fit those needs. Together they adjust the plan as progress is made or circumstances change.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for longer, face-to-face conversations. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick problem-solving, or when writing helps someone think more clearly. These options allow therapy to fit work schedules, caregiving duties, or travel without needing to be in a specific location.
