Andy Smith, LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Virginia with over 15 years of experience dedicated to empowering adolescents and adults to navigate challenges such as depression, anxiety, and trauma. I completed my Bachelor of Science in Creative Advertising with a minor in Psychology, followed by a Master of Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, VA.
My therapeutic approach is personalized to each individual, incorporating cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), internal family systems (IFS), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, and solution-focused interventions and perspectives. This allows me to create a relaxed, creative, and collaborative environment tailored to each person's unique needs.
I prioritize building a meaningful and empathic relationship with my clients, as I believe this connection is crucial for facilitating sustainable growth and change. My goal is to support you in achieving your goals and ultimately living a fulfilling and satisfying life.
