Andrew Wurth , LMHC, LICSW

Andrew Wurth brings 31 years of clinical experience to work with individuals and families facing relationship struggles, addiction, anger management, grief and loss, mood disorders such as bipolar disorder and depression, PTSD, and challenges tied to major life transitions. He has spent nearly eight years helping veterans adjust to civilian life and supports young adults navigating the move into early adulthood. His practice also addresses stress, anxiety, career concerns, compassion fatigue, and issues affecting first responders and the armed forces.

He operates from a belief that people have the capacity to change when they are willing to examine their lives and take intentional steps toward new goals. His style is positive and encouraging, emphasizing open communication, personal responsibility, and perseverance. He helps clients translate insight into practical plans so they can pursue meaningful goals and reduce regret.

Andrew practices part time from the Eastern Time zone and typically follows a Monday-to-Friday schedule while checking in online daily. He commonly offers evening availability around 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, very early morning hours beginning near 4:00 AM for a couple of hours, and some weekend times, which can make working with international clients more feasible. Many clients combine non-real-time message exchanges with regular weekly live sessions by video or phone, and he can also use a split-screen live chat for real-time written conversations. Response rhythms - whether frequent message contact or weekly check-ins - are established collaboratively with each client, and he aims to reply to most messages within the same day.

Andrew holds the credentials LMHC and LICSW - Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker - which indicate graduate-level clinical training and state licensure to provide psychotherapy.

Client-Centered Care and Online Therapy Options

Client-centered therapy is at the heart of Andrew Wurth's approach. This method focuses on listening deeply to the client, validating their experience, and supporting them to set and pursue their own goals. It is well suited to relationship difficulties, grief, stress, and mood concerns because it centers the client’s priorities and pace.

Alongside a client-centered stance, Andrew practices in a strengths-focused, collaborative manner that encourages clear communication and practical planning. He emphasizes personal responsibility and perseverance while helping clients translate insight into achievable steps, which can be useful for substance-related issues, adjustment after military service, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Andrew works together with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration may result in a mix of message-based work and scheduled live sessions.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling across time zones and for people with busy lives. These options allow clients to receive ongoing support without travel, to combine real-time conversations with asynchronous message exchanges, and to shape a rhythm of contact that matches their day-to-day needs.
