About Andrew
Andrew Riehl is a licensed clinical mental health counselor with 14 years of experience working in North Carolina. He focuses on practical help for everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, and career challenges. He approaches people with respect and compassion and aims to make the first step feel manageable.
He prefers a straightforward, person-centered way of working. That means conversations center on the client’s goals and what matters most to them.
How Andrew works
He uses mindfulness skills to help with overwhelming feelings and motivational interviewing to clarify what a person really wants to change. Sessions often look like focused problem-solving. He uses solution-focused techniques to identify small, achievable steps and build momentum.
For parenting and fatherhood concerns, he helps people find realistic strategies that fit their daily life. Andrew also supports people facing grief, compassion fatigue, and issues around self-esteem or body image. He pays attention to family-of-origin patterns and the ways shame, guilt, or isolation can shape choices.
He will tailor the pace and tools to each person’s needs. People who choose him can expect direct listening, practical coping tools, and clear next steps after sessions. He works with adults who want to address life transitions, midlife questions, and purpose-related concerns.
Sessions are offered in English and use a mix of conversation and skills practice to help move things forward.

Online support options
Approaches that fit online care
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s goals first and relies on careful listening and reflection to guide progress. It helps people who want to be heard and to shape their own path rather than follow a set plan.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices to reduce overwhelm and manage anxiety or strong emotions. These techniques are useful for stress, grief, and issues tied to self-esteem or body image.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That might mean trying mindfulness for a few sessions, then moving to solution-focused steps to build momentum.
Online therapy can make regular sessions easier to keep. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared skill demonstrations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter audio check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients check in between sessions, record thoughts in the moment, or use short written sessions when a full call isn’t possible.
These options offer flexibility for people balancing work, parenting, or busy schedules while still working with licensed professionals to address stress, anxiety, career concerns, and life changes.
