About Andrew

Andrew Wagoner is a licensed clinical social worker with 16 years of experience. He works with people facing trauma, grief, anger, bipolar disorder, stress, anxiety, and compassion fatigue. He treats each person with respect and sensitivity while focusing on practical steps forward.

He aims to tailor conversations and plans to each person's situation rather than use a one-size-fits-all method. Sessions focus on clear goals, coping strategies, and skills that can be used between meetings. Andrew emphasizes steady progress and realistic steps people can try right away.

Andrew's background includes practice in both Indiana and Kentucky, where he has helped people manage relationship and family concerns alongside medical and end-of-life issues. He has also worked with people experiencing dissociation, caregiver strain, first responder and veteran-related stress, and personality-related challenges. This range informs his ability to adapt approaches to different kinds of problems.

In sessions he listens for strengths and obstacles, then shapes a plan that fits daily life. He supports people coping with loss, guilt, or forgiveness work and helps those facing midlife or aging-related transitions. The focus is on practical tools and steady support rather than quick fixes.

People who choose him can expect a compassionate, down-to-earth style and a focus on usable skills. He encourages clients to take small, manageable steps toward relief and to build on successes over time.

How evidence-based methods translate to online care

Andrew uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people build coping skills and address specific problems. For example, approaches that focus on skill-building teach clear strategies for managing anxiety, anger, and stress, and they give people exercises to practice between sessions. Other evidence-based methods used in similar practice emphasize processing loss, trauma, and strong emotions through guided conversation and structured pacing so the work proceeds at a manageable rate.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals, review what has or hasn't helped before, and recommend methods that match your needs and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to continue care when schedules or location change, while keeping the focus on practical tools and steady progress.
