About Andrew
Andrew Heinz is a licensed clinical social worker in Colorado with 16 years of professional experience. He focuses on helping people who feel stuck in painful patterns and want practical steps toward feeling better. Andrew speaks plainly and helps clients find relief from recurring struggles and overwhelming feelings.
Many people come to him when stress, anxiety, or mood problems get in the way of daily life. He also helps those facing addiction, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting challenges.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to focus on what is happening now and what a person can try between meetings. Andrew uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside other approaches to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. He aims for simple, measurable changes that reduce distress and improve functioning.
He checks in on what works and adjusts plans as needed. People who prefer clear steps, homework-style practice, and a straightforward conversation style often fit well with his method. He also helps people deal with issues like attachment, codependency, impulse control, and fatherhood-related concerns.
Andrew explains tools in everyday language and builds on the strengths a person already has. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. He works with adults and adolescents who want a practical path forward and support while they make changes.

How CBT and online care can help you make changes
Andrew commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. CBT is practical and often helps with anxiety, panic, mood issues, and patterns that keep people stuck.He also brings in somatic-informed ideas and Internal Family Systems (IFS) perspectives when they fit the situation. Somatic-informed approaches help people notice how stress shows up in the body and use simple grounding steps. IFS-informed ideas help name different parts of ourselves so you can respond to difficult feelings with more clarity and less reactivity.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. He works with each person to pick methods that match goals, comfort, and daily life. That may mean trying CBT tasks for a few weeks, then adding body-based practices or IFS ideas if they feel useful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging works well for ongoing support between meetings. These options let people fit sessions around work, childcare, or travel while keeping therapy consistent.
