About Andrew
Andrew Wynkoop is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina. He brings three years of professional experience to his practice and focuses on stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, self-esteem, and depression. Andrew aims to create a calm, approachable atmosphere where people feel comfortable talking about what matters to them.
He has worked in school settings and in community programs, which shaped his practical style. Sessions tend to be straightforward and focused on small, doable steps people can try between meetings.
How Andrew works
Andrew pays attention to family of origin issues, communication problems, attachment concerns, and challenges that arise from adoption and foster care experiences. People who struggle with mood disorders, isolation or loneliness, guilt and shame, or feelings of emptiness can expect a collaborative plan. He also supports those navigating divorce and separation, multicultural concerns, and men's issues.
Communication skills and practical strategies are often part of the work. Andrew makes room for people with intellectual disability, autism and Asperger Syndrome, and developmental differences, adapting his approach to individual needs. He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and focuses on what helps someone move forward in daily life.
If someone prefers sessions that fit a busy schedule, he offers multiple online formats. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling to find a time that works.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Andrew uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on clear skills and practical strategies. One approach focuses on reducing anxiety through step-by-step coping skills, breathing and grounding exercises, and practice tasks that build confidence in everyday situations. This helps people who feel overwhelmed by worry or stress.Another approach centers on improving mood and self-esteem by identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of behaving. These techniques aim to lift low mood by creating more positive routines and manageable goals. A third area of work adapts communication and attachment-focused methods to strengthen relationships and address family of origin or attachment concerns.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist discusses goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then adjusts methods to fit the person's needs. Clients and therapist check progress and change direction when needed.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and visual connection, phone calls can fit a quick check-in or a break at work, and messaging is handy for ongoing support between meetings. These options make scheduling more flexible and help people fit therapy into busy lives.
