About Andrew

Andrew Roberts is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) licensed in Texas with 10 years of clinical experience. He focuses on concerns such as anger, stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, mood disorders, and addiction. Andrew works with teens and adults and helps people who are dealing with parenting stress, grief, identity issues, and problems with focus or impulsivity.

He uses practical, problem-focused methods that help people notice patterns and change how they respond. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills feature prominently in his work, along with mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity. He also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past relationships shape current reactions.

Andrew’s early work was in residential treatment with adolescents, where he addressed aggression, self-harm, mood instability, and family interaction difficulties. That experience informs his direct, skill-based approach with adults as well as younger clients. He aims to help people develop clearer communication and better stress responses.

Sessions typically combine skill training, practical problem-solving, and exploration of relationship patterns. People who come for help with anger or impulsivity often work on identifying triggers, building tolerance for distress, and practicing different behavioral responses. He also supports work on sleep, eating, and career-related stress.

Andrew completed a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy. He holds the LMFT credential in Texas and conducts sessions in English. For people outside the region, he accepts international clients and works with the same mix of skill and insight-based methods.

How sessions work

How Andrew Uses CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness Online

Andrew often relies on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions focus on practical exercises, planning new responses to stressful situations, and testing small changes to see what helps.

He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance. DBT techniques are useful for people who feel quick irritation or have trouble controlling impulses, offering concrete breathing and grounding practices to reduce reactivity.

Mindfulness practices are included to help slow the build-up of anger and improve present-moment noticing. These are short exercises and attention skills that support the other work rather than standing alone.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands. That means adjusting the balance of skills training, behavior change, and relational exploration as therapy progresses.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use the same CBT, DBT, and mindfulness exercises successfully in remote work when both therapist and client agree on how sessions will be arranged.
