About Andrew
Andrew Donelan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - Clinical (LCSW-C) practicing in Maryland with 33 years of experience. He works with adults on concerns such as addictions, relationships, family stress, trauma and parenting. He also lists blended family issues among his focus areas, so he is familiar with stepfamily and co-parenting dynamics.
Andrew uses a client-centered, strength-based style. He helps people identify practical steps they can take toward clearer communication and healthier routines. Sessions include concrete strategies and advice aimed at improving relationships and daily functioning at home and at work.
He incorporates mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral approaches in sessions. Mindfulness practices are used to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Cognitive-behavioral ideas help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors to get different results.
Andrew has experience with dual diagnosis treatment needs and offers support for addiction recovery. He also works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, loss, divorce, and fatherhood issues. He focuses on helping clients develop better communication and coping skills.
He offers virtual visits when requested. Before booking, readers should confirm the current session formats and scheduling details. To begin, follow the site's booking flow and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule a first session.
How therapeutic approaches and online sessions work together
Andrew uses mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral techniques as part of his work. Mindfulness helps people notice physical and emotional reactions in the moment and practice staying calmer during family conflicts. Cognitive-behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different actions to change outcomes, which can help with relationship patterns and impulse control.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your concerns, try different techniques, and adapt strategies based on your goals and what feels useful. You and the therapist decide together which methods to keep using and which to adjust.
Andrew has indicated he offers virtual visits when requested, but readers should confirm the specific session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let someone join from a quieter location or use audio-only options if that suits them better. Ask about the available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so you can pick what fits your routine best.
