About Andrew
Andrew Scarbrough is a psychologist based in Minnesota who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and ADHD. He brings 16 years of clinical experience and a direct style that aims to make talks practical and focused. He presents himself as someone who listens first, then helps people make small, usable changes.
In sessions he blends different evidence-based therapeutic techniques to match a person's needs. That can mean focusing on thoughts and behaviors, exploring patterns from a person's past, or working on clearer communication.
Background and approach
He pays attention to how people handle control, impulsivity, and strong emotions like anger. Andrew also works with people facing substance use concerns, family of origin issues, problems with intimacy or divorce, and complex moods that include depression or emptiness. He describes his approach as adaptive - choosing methods that fit what the person prefers and how motivated they feel to change.
People who come to him for ADHD-related difficulties can expect help organizing daily tasks, managing impulsivity, and improving focus in practical ways. He aims to make strategies feel realistic to use between sessions. He also addresses the secondary effects of ADHD such as guilt, shame, or relationship strain.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through a mix of video, phone, chat, and messaging formats. He uses a matching process to pair people with a therapist and recommends a format that fits each person’s schedule and needs.
Approaches that fit your needs and online flexibility
Evidence-based techniques focused on practical change are central to his work. One common approach emphasizes changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning; it helps with worry, avoidance, and breaking unhelpful habits. Another approach looks at life patterns and past relationships to understand current problems; this can help when recurring conflict, feelings of emptiness, or family of origin issues are part of the picture.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and readiness to try new strategies. Clients and the therapist review what’s working and adjust the plan together.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction when that helps. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, ongoing support between sessions, or when someone prefers writing over speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping focus on practical steps and progress.
