About Andrew
Andrew Wynkoop is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with three years of professional experience. He works with stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, self-esteem, depression, and related issues. Andrew has a background working mainly with children, adolescents, tweens, and teenagers in school and community settings.
He uses everyday language and straightforward conversation to connect with younger clients. He often starts by asking about interests like anime, sports, music, art, or memes to build rapport and make sessions feel more natural. Sessions focus on practical skills and steps that a young person can try between meetings.
Andrew's experience in schools means he is familiar with common challenges young people face now. He addresses mood changes, social worries, feeling isolated, and difficulties with communication. He also supports concerns tied to adoption and foster care, attachment questions, and multicultural issues when they come up.
In session he talks through concrete problems such as impulsivity, guilt and shame, and problems with family of origin or separation. He works with people who have intellectual disability or autism spectrum traits, adjusting pace and methods to match how a person prefers to communicate. He aims to keep sessions direct and age-appropriate.
Clients who want to begin are asked to complete a short intake questionnaire and schedule a first appointment. The subscription model for sessions can be canceled at any time, and costs vary with location.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Andrew uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on clear steps and skills. For example, cognitive-based strategies help people notice unhelpful thoughts and practice different ways of thinking to reduce anxiety in social situations. Behavioral techniques focus on small, manageable exposures - gradual practice with speaking up or being around others to build confidence over time.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan based on how the client responds. This keeps sessions collaborative and practical.
If you are considering online work, confirm the session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the original profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into school, work, or a busy day. They also allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited and options that do not require being on camera if that helps someone engage more comfortably.
