About Andrew
Andrew Cuevas is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California. He aims to create a space where people feel heard, respected, and able to be themselves. His style is direct and collaborative, focused on helping people understand what they're experiencing and take practical steps forward.
Andrew works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. He listens for patterns that may keep someone stuck and helps identify small, doable strategies to reduce distress and build confidence.
How Andrew works
Sessions emphasize clear goals and tools that fit the person's everyday life. His practice draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), while avoiding a one-size-fits-all approach. He tailors methods to match a person’s goals, values, and cultural background rather than applying the same plan to everyone.
Andrew normalizes difficult emotions and frames them as information rather than personal failings. Together with clients he examines how feelings show up, how people respond, and what alternative responses might look like. The work often mixes understanding with hands-on skill building.
People don’t need to have a clear problem or diagnosis to begin. Andrew welcomes those who feel stuck or uncertain and helps them find a starting point. The emphasis is on practical change, steady progress, and collaborative planning that aligns with each person’s life.

Practical evidence-based approaches and online care
Andrew’s practice draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce anxiety and depression. CBT focuses on clear goals, short-term exercises, and skills you can use between sessions.He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills are useful when emotions feel overwhelming and when a person wants steady ways to respond in stressful moments.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, values, and life situation. That means trying methods, checking how they feel, and adjusting as needed so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce time spent traveling, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to work on skills in real-life settings and to bring what’s happening between sessions into the conversation.
