About Roger
Roger Andrews is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Virginia with 13 years of experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, relationship strain, trauma, grief, anger, low self-esteem, career changes, bipolar disorder, and other life transitions. He keeps language simple and focuses on practical next steps.
Roger listens first and then works with each person to build a plan that fits their needs.
How Roger works
He blends client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral techniques. That means sessions often focus on understanding what matters to the person now, and on trying new ways of thinking or behaving to reduce distress. Sessions are straightforward and conversational.
He aims to be compassionate and nonjudgmental while helping people identify small, useful changes. Roger will suggest exercises between sessions when they might help the work continue outside the meeting. Over his career he has supported people managing addiction and substance use, as well as those coping with serious mood concerns such as bipolar disorder.
He has also provided care for people processing trauma and adjustment to life changes. His practice includes both short-term problem solving and longer-term work when needed. Roger approaches each person with dignity and respect.
He will collaborate on goals and adjust methods as progress and circumstances change. The emphasis is on practical tools that people can use in daily life.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and values. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what matters to the person, and helps them decide what to work on next. This approach is useful for people who want a supportive, collaborative space to sort through feelings and decisions.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses specific exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and to try new behaviors that reduce anxiety or low mood. CBT works well for stress, anxiety, depression, and many everyday problems where practical strategies are helpful.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That process can be adjusted over time as progress and challenges emerge.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation when it helps. Phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are options for ongoing support, quick check-ins, or for people who prefer written communication. Together these formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep up momentum between meetings.
