About Andrew
Andrew Newhouse is a marriage and family therapist who brings 14 years of clinical experience to his work. He practices as an LMFT and focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and life changes.
Background and approach
He uses plain language and steady support to help people find practical ways forward. Andrew began his path after losing his mother as a teen and finding help that made a real difference.
That experience shaped his interest in therapy and how he listens to people who are hurting. He aims to offer the same compassionate, steady presence he once received.
In sessions he combines approaches that suit each person's situation. He often uses client-centered methods to follow the person's lead.
He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and create new habits. Andrew has worked with many people facing substance use concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family problems, and parenting stress.
He also addresses issues like ADHD, anger, isolation, and questions about life purpose. He frames work around clear steps and achievable goals.
He is based in Hawaii and holds licensure as an LMFT. Andrew offers conversational, goal-focused work and practical tools people can try between sessions.
He welcomes questions and helps people decide on a path that fits their needs.
How his approaches work through online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on following the person's lead and building a trusting, respectful conversation. It helps when someone needs a place to be heard and to find their own answers through reflection and support.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete ways to change unhelpful habits. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and patterns that keep returning, such as substance use or avoidance.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. That makes it easier to try methods that fit and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face time for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for quick check-ins, homework prompts, or brief coaching between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between meetings.
