About Andrew

Andrew Newhouse is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 14 years of professional experience. He focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, or relationship and family problems. He also supports those working on self-esteem, parenting challenges, ADHD, and coping with major life changes.

He draws on straightforward, person-centered methods to help people make sense of what they are facing. He listens first, then works with each person to set clear, manageable goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try small changes that make daily life easier.

Andrew’s interest in therapy began after his own experience with grief as a teenager. That experience shaped why he chose this work and how he connects with people in hard moments. He uses what he learned from many years of practice to offer calm, practical guidance rather than jargon.

Sessions focus on real problems and step-by-step options. People leave sessions with tools they can use between meetings, like ways to handle stress, change behaviors tied to addiction, or strengthen communication with family members. He aims to help people notice small gains that add up.

Andrew practices in Hawaii and brings many years of work with individuals affected by trauma and loss. He offers a warm, direct style for people ready to talk through difficult emotions and build more confidence in daily life.

How his approaches translate to online work

Andrew often uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive space where people feel heard. That approach focuses on understanding your experience and following your pace while deciding what to work on.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioral changes. CBT is practical for issues like anxiety, depression, and some forms of stress or addiction because it breaks problems into manageable steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide whether a person-centered path, CBT, or a solution-focused emphasis fits best. Goals, preferences, and life circumstances guide that choice rather than one fixed method.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into a busy day, whether someone needs a shorter check-in, wants to avoid travel, or prefers not to be on camera. Licensed professionals can still use the same therapeutic tools online, and many people find they can make steady progress with consistent sessions.
