About Andrew
Andrew McDalasair is an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) practicing in Montana with three years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, and depression and provides straightforward support for related concerns. Sessions focus on real-life problems and practical steps people can use between meetings.
He commonly helps people dealing with family problems, blended family issues, and fatherhood questions. He also offers support for adoption and foster care matters, attachment problems, body image struggles, and issues that come up with chronic illness or pain. His work includes addressing control issues, co-morbidity, and mood concerns such as disruptive mood dysregulation disorder.
His approach draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a person-centered attitude. In practice that means listening to what matters to the client, then trying concrete strategies to reduce symptoms and improve daily routines. Sessions tend to be practical and focused on what the person wants to change.
Andrew also notes experience with topics some people find sensitive, including BDSM, kink, and alternative sexual cultures. He offers help around grief, attachment wounds, and family of origin issues without judging lifestyle or identity choices.
He works in English and does not accept international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Andrew uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a person-centered approach. Evidence-based techniques generally mean using methods shown to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Person-centered work emphasizes listening, understanding values, and building goals together.Two approaches often used in this kind of work are cognitive-based strategies and behavioral techniques. Cognitive-based strategies look at thoughts that increase anxiety or low mood and test practical alternatives. Behavioral techniques focus on small, repeatable actions that change routines and reduce stress, useful for sleep, activity levels, and daily coping with chronic illness.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review the client’s goals, current difficulties, and preferences, and together they will choose which methods to try. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, cut travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals often adapt tools and worksheets for video or phone meetings so the work can continue between sessions.
