About Andrew
Andrew Merritt is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting concerns, low self esteem, trauma and grief. He also supports those coping with mood disorders, sleep problems, anger, career transitions, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
He trained at the master's level in counseling and holds LPC credentials in Oklahoma and Colorado. Over two decades he has worked in different states and lived abroad, which shaped his respect for cultural differences and varied life experiences. He brings that broad perspective into sessions.
In practice he uses a blend of techniques rather than one fixed model. He often uses gentle Socratic questioning to surface unhelpful beliefs and to test new ways of thinking. He has had training in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive Processing Therapy and draws on those methods when trauma is part of the concern.
Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. He will look at day-to-day patterns, coping skills, and small behavior changes that add up over time. The work aims to help people move from surviving toward thriving in their daily lives.
Andrew frames therapy as a collaborative process. He listens for what matters to each person and helps them set goals. He sees the counselor's role as traveling alongside clients for a time and supporting measurable change.
