Andrew Heinz, LCSW, CSW

Andrew Heinz is a licensed clinical social worker in Colorado with 16 years of professional experience. He sees people who feel stuck in painful patterns and offers straightforward help to find relief. He describes emotional wounds like physical injuries that need attention so life can feel better again.

Andrew works with individuals who struggle with addiction, mood and anxiety problems, grief, impulse control, and relationship difficulties. He also addresses issues such as attachment wounds, codependency, parenting stress, and feelings of guilt or shame. He uses practical methods to help people notice patterns and try new responses.

In sessions he aims to make things simple and usable. Conversations focus on what is happening now, what leads to it, and small changes that can be practiced between meetings. He leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy methods to help identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to build healthier habits.

Andrew takes an open, collaborative stance. He listens for what matters most to each person and tailors the work to their goals and pace. He helps people set clear steps they can try right away and checks progress along the way.

People who reach out can expect a practical, steady approach that combines talk work with action steps. The goal is to reduce distress, increase useful skills, and create more moments of relief and choice in day-to-day life.

CBT and practical approaches for online care

Andrew uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking, testing new ideas, and practicing different actions until they become easier to use. This approach can help with anxiety, panic, low mood, and patterns that feed addictions or conflict.

He also draws on somatic- and internal-family-informed ideas to pay attention to body responses and parts-based dynamics when they come up in sessions. These approaches are used to help people manage strong reactions and to experiment with different ways of responding in everyday life.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. He works with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and comfort level, and adjusts the plan as progress is made. Clients help set priorities and try steps between sessions so the work stays practical.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video works well for in-depth conversations and exercises, phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can fit quick check-ins or brief coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit care into busy schedules and different routines.
