About Andrea
Andrea Raasch is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She brings almost three decades of experience to sessions and aims to create a calm, steady space for people who feel overwhelmed. Andrea works with straightforward, practical steps so clients can feel more able to cope day to day.
Andrea believes many struggles come from a nervous system that is out of balance.
Background and approach
She talks with clients about how the body and mind react to stress and uses techniques to help people regain a calmer state. That calmer baseline makes it easier to think clearly and make choices that match personal values. Her approach mixes goal-focused work with conversations about personal meaning and story.
Andrea draws on methods such as cognitive behavioral strategies, motivational interviewing, narrative work, solution-focused ideas, and trauma-focused techniques to match each person’s needs. Sessions may include skill-building, problem solving, and exploring patterns that keep problems going. Andrea is licensed in Colorado as an LCSW and holds a CSW credential.
She has many years of experience helping people rebuild confidence and find practical ways forward after difficult events. Her style is collaborative and respectful, and she invites open conversation about whatever matters to the individual. People who choose to work with Andrea can expect clear steps, grounded teaching about stress responses, and attention to restoring everyday functioning.
She aims to help clients feel more connected to their own voice and more capable of making choices that fit their lives.
Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Andrea commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques and trauma-focused work in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical tools to change them; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on reducing the ongoing impact of traumatic events and improving daily functioning by using paced, targeted interventions.She also draws on motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and build momentum. That approach uses nonjudgmental questioning to clarify values and strengthen motivation. Deciding which approaches to use is a joint process - the therapist and client test what feels most helpful and adjust over time based on goals and responses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer sessions and teaching new skills, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text can be used for brief check-ins or ongoing support between longer appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work consistently, even when schedules change.
