Andrea Raasch , LCSW, CSW

Andrea Raasch is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. She holds LCSW and CSW credentials and is licensed to practice in both Colorado and Florida. Her work draws on specialized training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and certification as a Trauma-Sensitive Heartmath Certified Practitioner, which informs a focus on healing from trauma and supporting nervous system regulation.

Andrea understands that many difficulties arise when the nervous system becomes dysregulated, leaving the body, emotions, and thinking overwhelmed. She approaches each person from their unique point of view, blending evidence-informed techniques with practical skills to help restore physiological balance. That restoration often opens access to clearer thoughts, manageable emotions, and renewed decision-making from a place of confidence and empowerment.

With an open, nonjudgmental stance, Andrea welcomes full exploration of all aspects of the self. She partners with clients to reflect more deeply, clarify strengths and challenges, and co-create solutions that come from the client’s own values and insights. Her aim is to support restoration, reconnection, and sustainable change through compassionate, skillful care.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Andrea commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused approaches into her online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, and is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Trauma-Focused Therapy, including Trauma-Focused CBT, centers on processing traumatic experiences in a way that reduces their ongoing impact and supports emotional and physiological regulation, which can benefit people coping with post-traumatic stress and complex reactions to past harm.

She also draws on Narrative Therapy techniques, which invite clients to explore and reframe the stories they tell about themselves so they can reclaim agency and notice strengths. Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process - the therapist will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt strategies as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals while balancing work, family, and life commitments, and allow therapy to fit into daily routines in a practical, accessible way.
