About Andrea

Andrea Raasch helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, and depression. She uses simple, practical steps to calm overwhelming feelings and to build steady coping skills. Andrea is a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - with a long history of doing this work in Colorado and elsewhere.

She listens first, and then helps people name what they are facing. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what small changes might help.

Background and approach

Andrea blends problem-solving with techniques to calm the nervous system so thoughts and feelings are easier to manage. Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral ideas, motivational interviewing, narrative methods, solution-focused practices, and trauma-focused work. That mix lets her tailor sessions to each person's needs, whether someone needs tools for daily anxiety or support after trauma.

Andrea emphasizes practical skills that can be used between visits. She teaches ways to notice unhelpful thoughts, shift them, and try small experiments to test new behaviors. Sessions also include breathing and grounding strategies to reduce overwhelm and restore a sense of balance.

She invites discussion of any topic and treats each person with respect and direct feedback. With nearly three decades of experience, Andrea aims to help people regain confidence, feel more connected to their own values, and find clearer next steps in life.

Online support

Approaches that translate well to online care

Andrea often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. CBT is focused and practical, and it works well through conversation and short at-home exercises. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support people who want to find their own reasons to change; this method uses open questions and reflection to build motivation and clear goals. Finally, Narrative Therapy helps people reframe the story they tell about themselves, separating problems from identity so they can try new possibilities.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Andrea will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and daily life. She adapts techniques over time and checks in about what feels most helpful so the plan stays responsive and realistic.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues for richer conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, short coaching, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and daily routines while keeping the focus on progress and practical tools.
