Andrew Miller , LICSW, LCSW

Andrew Miller is a licensed social worker based in Indiana who brings a thoughtful, client-focused approach to counseling. He holds a Master of Social Work from Indiana University of South Bend (2016) and a Bachelor in Psychological Science from Ball State University (2013). Over five years of clinical practice in Northern Indiana have shaped his work with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, addiction, sleep problems, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and related issues.

He earned his LCSW in 2019 - LCSW stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker - and obtained an LICSW in 2023, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker credential that expanded his ability to practice across state lines. Andrew uses an eclectic set of methods, drawing on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, trauma-focused techniques, and EMDR when appropriate. He is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and continues to pursue additional training, including plans to seek Play Therapy certification.

In session he emphasizes a nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can share challenges openly while exploring practical strategies and internal resources. He also attends to themes such as guilt and shame, post-traumatic stress, and building self-love. Outside of clinical work he enjoys Star Wars, Marvel comics, Disney, literature, and studying philosophy and spirituality. He aims to help people increase self-awareness and identify useful supports to navigate life more effectively.

How Andrew's Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Andrew integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into his online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, empathetic relationship and helping clients explore their own goals and values; it can be especially helpful for relationship issues, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. CBT offers structured tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning. He is also trained in EMDR, a trauma-focused approach that assists people in processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional impact when trauma is a central concern.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Andrew works with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts techniques over time so the approach matches what is most helpful for the individual. Clients and therapist decide together which methods to emphasize.

Online therapy with Andrew can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, mobility limits, or geographic distance. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care and apply therapeutic strategies in day-to-day life while working with licensed professionals who tailor treatment to the client's circumstances.
