Andrew Scarbrough

Andrew Scarbrough is a Minnesota psychologist with 16 years of experience helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma, anger, and ADHD. He speaks English and aims to make therapy clear and straightforward so parents and caregivers can understand options quickly. He welcomes questions about how therapy might fit into a family's routine and what to expect in early sessions.

He uses a mix of approaches pulled from evidence-based therapeutic techniques. That means sessions often include practical skills to manage anxiety and anger, plus time to talk through patterns that keep problems repeating. He adjusts methods to match each person's needs and level of motivation for change.

His background includes work with substance use, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, depression, PTSD, bipolar concerns, psychosis, personality issues, and autism. He draws from cognitive-behavioral ideas as well as psychodynamic, existential, and person-centered perspectives to build a treatment plan that makes sense for the individual.

Andrew emphasizes a culturally adaptive approach. He considers personal values and life context when choosing interventions. Sessions balance skill-building with understanding the life story that shapes current struggles.

How evidence-based techniques work online

Many of the techniques Andrew draws on are adaptable to a remote setting. Cognitive-behavioral methods focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; these are practical and skill-oriented, useful for anxiety, OCD symptoms, and ADHD-related routines. Psychodynamic ideas help people understand recurring relationship patterns and emotional responses by looking at life history and meaningful relationships, which can guide longer-term change.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that match their goals, motivation, and daily life. Adjustments happen over time if something isn’t working or a different focus is needed.

Confirm current session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific online options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let people use quieter surroundings or lower-bandwidth options depending on what works best for them and their routine.
