Andrew Miller

Andrew Miller is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who practices out of Indiana. He focuses on common struggles people bring to therapy like stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, and issues around self-esteem and relationships. He aims to create a nonjudgmental space where people can talk through difficult feelings and find practical steps forward.

Andrew uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. He draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and EMDR. Sessions are conversational, focused on problem solving, and shaped by the client’s pace and goals.

He completed a Bachelor’s in Psychological Science at Ball State University and a Master of Social Work at Indiana University South Bend. He has about five years of clinical experience in northern Indiana and received an LCSW in 2019; he later obtained LICSW status that allows practice in Massachusetts as well.

Andrew emphasizes practical tools such as thought tracking, grounding, and gentle exposure to distressing memories when appropriate. He also helps people manage life changes, parenting strain, sleeping problems, and compassion fatigue. Outside work he reads widely and enjoys Star Wars, Marvel, and discussions about philosophy and spirituality.

People who want a therapist who listens first and suggests steps next may find his style approachable. He works with each person to identify clear goals and usable resources to support everyday functioning.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people safely process traumatic memories and reduce distress by working step by step through painful experiences and building coping skills. It is often used for post-traumatic stress, strong reactions to reminders, and ongoing trauma-related symptoms.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own experience. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is heard, and follows the person’s lead to clarify goals and values. This approach helps when someone needs space to be heard and to make their own choices about change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It uses short exercises like tracking thoughts and testing assumptions, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about problems, goals, and preferences, then suggest methods to try. Sessions are adjusted over time based on what is and isn’t helping.

If you are considering online work, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Discuss scheduling and session length when you begin so the plan fits your routine and goals.
