Andrea Raasch is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She brings almost three decades of clinical experience and focuses on building confidence and practical coping skills. Andrea emphasizes steady steps that anyone can use day to day to feel more grounded and capable.
Andrea sees many problems as linked to a dysregulated nervous system that makes thoughts and emotions feel overwhelming. She works with clients to notice how the body and mind interact. Sessions often include breathing and rhythm-based practices aimed at calming the nervous system so thinking becomes clearer.
Her approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused methods, and Trauma-Focused work. Andrea helps people name unhelpful thinking patterns, clarify values and goals, and identify small, achievable changes. She also addresses trauma responses and supports rebuilding a sense of safety and agency.
Andrea holds LCSW and CSW credentials and has worked in Colorado and Florida settings over many years. She welcomes open conversation about any part of life and encourages clients to bring their whole experience into sessions. The style is practical, direct, and compassionate, with an emphasis on skills that transfer into everyday life.
To begin, she asks clients to reflect on what matters most and then helps them design steps that fit their situation. The aim is clearer decision making, restored energy, and greater self-confidence over time.
Approaches that guide online work and goals
Andrea often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks problems into small parts so practical steps can be tested and adjusted, which is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and self-esteem work.
She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what matters and build motivation for change. This approach focuses on personal goals and small, sustainable moves toward them. Narrative Therapy is used as well to reframe personal stories and notice strengths across difficult experiences.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different techniques. Together they choose or combine methods that fit the issue and the person’s pace.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing check-ins during breaks or from different locations. It can also support consistent skill practice between visits, since tools and exercises can be reviewed and adjusted in follow-up sessions.
She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Additional focus areas include workplace issues, guilt and shame, isolation, and life purpose.
