About Andrew
Andrew Berger is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in North Carolina with 23 years of professional experience. He helps people manage stress and anxiety, work through relationship concerns, process trauma and abuse, and cope with grief and loss.
He uses straightforward conversations to identify what feels most urgent. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits and testing different ways to respond. He treats the person in front of him as the expert on their life and builds on strengths they already have.
In practice he draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods to make problems clearer and more manageable. He also uses solution-focused and trauma-focused approaches when they fit the situation. Those methods shape concrete steps and short-term goals clients can try between sessions.
Common topics he addresses include codependency, communication problems, commitment issues, and midlife concerns. He also supports people dealing with divorce or separation, domestic violence effects, and challenges tied to first responder or veteran experiences.
Sessions aim to break big problems into smaller, testable tasks. He helps people spot patterns in thinking and behavior, try alternate responses, and review what works. That practical focus is useful when coping with life purpose questions, jealousy, infidelity, or end-of-life and hospice related concerns.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Andrew Berger uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to break problems into specific thoughts and behaviors to try different responses. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, which can make homework and short experiments easy to track between sessions. He also uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on the person’s perspective, listening for what matters most and reflecting it back. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set small, achievable goals and identify what clients can do now to move forward. Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss which methods match a person’s goals and preferences and adjust the plan as they go. That choice is collaborative and based on the client’s needs and what feels most useful in practice.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, require less travel, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss format preferences during the matching questionnaire and first sessions so practical details align with daily life.Areas of expertise
