About Andrew
Andrew Scarbrough is a Minnesota Psychologist (MN Psychologist LP6150) with 16 years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, anger, and ADHD. He also helps people facing related problems such as abandonment, communication problems, addiction, and feelings of emptiness.
He uses a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques drawn from different traditions. That means sessions often include practical skills from cognitive-behavioral ideas and space to look at longstanding patterns that affect current life. Conversations are focused and direct, aimed at helping people notice what gets in the way of change and try alternatives.
Andrew pays attention to cultural factors and personal preferences when suggesting ways forward. He looks at motivation and readiness, and discusses approaches that fit the person rather than offering a single method. This helps people who are unsure what to try next after changes at work, in relationships, or in health.
People who struggle with impulse control, guilt, shame, or problems linked to family of origin find concrete goals and steps in sessions. He also addresses issues connected to divorce or separation, domestic violence histories, and substance problems, using clinical methods that aim to reduce distress and improve functioning.
Sessions tend to balance practical skill-building with examination of deeper patterns. Andrew encourages clear goals, measurable steps, and regular review of progress. To start, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session through the online options.
Approaches used and what online work looks like
Andrew commonly draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas and psychodynamic perspectives. Cognitive-behavioral methods involve identifying unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns and practicing concrete skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, impulsivity, and substance-related problems. Psychodynamic-informed work looks at recurring relationship and family patterns that shape current feelings and choices, which can clarify persistent struggles like emptiness or repeated conflicts.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist discusses goals, preferences, and motivation, and together they choose techniques to try. That collaborative process means plans can shift as progress is reviewed and new needs emerge.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the original biography does not list specific online formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or removing the need to be on camera for some appointments. These practical options help people keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
