Andrew Wagoner, LCSW

Andrew Wagoner is a licensed clinical social worker who brings 16 years of experience to therapy. He works with people facing trauma and abuse, grief and loss, anxiety and stress, anger, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue. He treats each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

Andrew shapes sessions around what each person needs. He tailors conversation and a treatment plan to fit individual goals and challenges. The focus is practical - talking through reactions, building day-to-day coping skills, and finding small changes that add up.

He has worked across issues related to relationships and family strain, and also supports people navigating aging and geriatric concerns, caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life matters, and health-related stress such as cancer. Other areas of focus include dissociation, impulsivity, guilt and shame, and challenges connected to first responder or veteran experiences.

Andrew approaches work in a straightforward way. Sessions tend to look like honest conversation, skill practice, and planning for real-world steps between meetings. He aims to empower people to regain stability, manage strong emotions, and make choices that fit their values.

He is licensed in Indiana and Kentucky as an LCSW, and he offers services in English. If someone is ready to begin, the process emphasizes matching goals and finding a practical plan to move forward.

Practical approaches and remote care options

Andrew uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thinking patterns and everyday habits. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test them against daily experiences so emotions and behavior change more easily. Another focuses on building concrete coping skills for strong emotions, such as grounding, paced breathing, and step-by-step behavior changes. These techniques are aimed at reducing distress and improving day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making scheduling more flexible. Many people find remote sessions help them consistently practice skills between appointments and keep momentum toward their goals.
