Andrew Heinz , LCSW, CSW

Andrew Heinz is a Colorado-based licensed social worker with 16 years of professional experience helping adolescents and adults navigate painful, recurring patterns and life transitions. He approaches emotional wounds much like physical injuries - untreated problems can limit functioning and lead to confusing or self-destructive behavior. When people become stuck in cycles of shame, impulsivity, addiction, or relational conflict, he focuses on practical pathways to relief and renewed purpose.

He works with individuals facing addiction, grief and loss, histories of trauma or abuse, acute to severe depression and anxiety, impulse challenges, attachment and relationship difficulties, and struggles with self-worth and identity. His practice supports people coping with parenting and fatherhood issues, anger, career concerns, ADHD, and loneliness among other challenges. He draws on a range of techniques to tailor care to each person’s needs.

Andrew describes his approach as eclectic and informed by training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, somatic methods, internal family systems ideas, and polyvagal theory. He holds the credentials LCSW and CSW - LCSW stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker and CSW stands for Clinical Social Worker - and is licensed to practice in Colorado. He seeks to partner with clients in a collaborative process aimed at helping them heal, regain agency, and move toward more fulfilling relationships and daily life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Andrew uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, test assumptions, and build practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and impulse challenges. CBT is structured and goal-focused, and it often includes exercises to practice new coping strategies between sessions.

He also integrates IFS-informed and somatic ideas to explore internal parts and bodily responses that affect emotional experience. These approaches can be useful for people working through attachment wounds, trauma histories, and patterns of shame or self-criticism because they create ways to notice and work with internal states beyond just thoughts.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work and is done collaboratively. Andrew works with each person to determine which techniques suit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexible access to licensed professionals and therapists, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules, maintain consistency, and connect from different locations when in-person visits are not practical.
