About Andrea
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 29 years of experience, Andrea Raasch works from Colorado and focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She combines practical techniques with conversation to help people manage overwhelming emotions and regain steadier thinking. Sessions are provided in English.
Andrea frames many difficulties as reactions of an overactive or dysregulated nervous system. She explains how body states affect thoughts and choices, and she teaches ways to calm the nervous system so people can access clearer thinking and make decisions from a steadier place. Her work includes addressing motivation, communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation and workplace concerns.
Her methods include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. Andrea has used trauma-focused approaches with people who have experienced a range of traumas and integrates strategies to support regulation alongside those therapies.
Sessions tend to mix practical skill building with reflective conversation. That can mean learning new coping skills, practicing ways to reframe unhelpful thoughts, and making small steps toward changes that matter. Andrea also works on finding solutions that come from the client’s own experience and strengths.
She asks direct questions and listens for patterns that matter to daily life. The aim is to reduce overwhelm so constructive feelings and thoughts come back online. To start, people use the site matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session to discuss goals and next steps.

How Andrea uses therapy approaches and remote sessions
Andrea commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy to address symptoms that come from stress, anxiety, or past trauma. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and building concrete coping skills to reduce symptoms. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing traumatic experiences and teaching regulation skills so memories and reactions feel less overwhelming.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what matters to them and increase motivation for change. That approach emphasizes short, practical conversations to move toward goals. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit the person’s situation.
The biography does not list specific session formats. Please confirm which formats are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel. Therapists generally adapt exercises and regulation practices so they work in a remote setting, and Andrea can help identify which techniques best suit everyday life and routines.
