About Andrew
Andrew Scarbrough is a Minnesota psychologist with 16 years of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship trouble, trauma, anger, or ADHD. He writes and talks plainly about the problems people bring to therapy and focuses on practical steps. He works to make sessions straightforward and aimed at real-life changes.
He draws on a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to fit what each person needs. That can mean looking at thinking patterns that keep anxiety going, practicing skills to manage impulses, or talking through how past relationships shape current ones. He adapts his approach to a person's preferences and motivation level rather than using a single method for everyone.
People who seek help for substance use, depression, trauma reactions, or problems with anger and impulsivity may find his approach relevant. He also addresses concerns like communication problems, family of origin issues, and the emotional effects of divorce or separation.
Sessions aim to combine clear skills practice with attention to personal meaning and values. That might include learning coping strategies, setting small behavior goals, and exploring patterns that repeat across relationships. The work is collaborative and paced to each person's needs.
Andrew is licensed in Minnesota as MN Psychologist LP6150 and provides services in English. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.
How evidence-based techniques adapt to online work
Andrew integrates several evidence-based techniques to help people manage symptoms and change behavior. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. These techniques are practical and often include homework tasks or skill practice between sessions.Another strand of his work draws on person-centered and psychodynamic ideas that pay attention to relationships and personal history. This helps when recurring patterns from past relationships are affecting current connections or fueling feelings like emptiness and guilt. A brief focus on values and meaning can also guide decisions and motivation for change.
Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to choose methods that match goals, daily life, and readiness to try new strategies. That conversation is part of early sessions and can change over time as needs evolve.
The original biography did not list which online or in-person formats are offered, so confirm the available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family demands, reduce time spent traveling, and allow skill practice in everyday settings. Different formats can also support shorter check-ins when a quick update is needed or longer sessions when deeper issues are addressed.
