More about Andru
- 4 years' experience

- LMSW
I am an LMSW Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Graduate Certificate in Drug and Alcohol Abuse Studies. I have experience working with people who have lost loved ones and are now going through the roller coaster of grief looking for support. I also provide support with older adults who may experience social isolation. During our time together I hope to provide an open mind with a cool and calm presence. This is a non-judgemental zone. I understand that in stressful times all someone may need is a listening ear.
A little about me; I am a huge animal lover and would not know what to do without my dog and cats. I love being outside walking my dog and going on runs. I believe that being active can be extremely therapeutic. I also enjoy helping coach people and encourage them to achieve their personal goals.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
