About Andrew
Andrew Avault is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) who uses mindfulness-based work to help people manage stress and emotional ups and downs. He frames sessions around practical skills for mood regulation, anxiety, and day-to-day coping. Andrew presents ideas clearly and keeps things straightforward for parents reading on the go.
He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to guide conversations and activities. Those approaches are used to notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed, then choose values-based actions.
Background and approach
Sessions often include simple breath and attention practices, and short exercises to try between meetings. Andrew has five years of clinical experience and blends that with a long personal practice in Zen and martial arts. That background informs his emphasis on steady habits, attention training, and grounded routines.
He prefers concrete steps over abstract theory when helping people make changes. Common areas he addresses include anxiety, ADHD, depression, addictions, grief, and relationship concerns. He also helps with sleep, anger, self-esteem, and career stress.
Work is tailored to the person's daily life and immediate needs rather than long academic explanations. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit varied schedules. Andrew works with people from different places and supports international clients in English.
The focus is on useful tools, clear goals, and steady progress the client can notice between appointments.
Mindfulness and ACT for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then pick actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, mood swings, and life changes where choices feel blocked.Mindfulness Therapy centers on attention training and simple practices like focused breathing or body scans. These techniques aim to reduce reactivity, improve sleep, and support day-to-day emotion regulation.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to try practices, see what fits, and adjust methods based on goals and preferences. Progress is measured in practical changes the person can use between sessions rather than abstract milestones.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face when convenient, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging supports shorter check-ins or ongoing coaching. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into school, work, or travel schedules and to keep regular momentum toward goals.
