Andrew Riehl, LCMHC — Therapist in North Carolina

Hi there, I'm Andrew!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor who works with adults looking for clarity, momentum, and practical support. My approach is collaborative and grounded in solution-focused work, helping clients move forward with confidence. I often support clients navigating stress, burnout, interpersonal conflict, performance issues, or life changes.

My focus

I primarily work with adults who are seeking practical support with stress, burnout, motivation, or life transitions. I also have an extensive background working with clients struggling to manage symptoms related to anxiety and depression, as well as processing traumatic events.

My approach

I lean strongly toward solution-focused therapy, helping clients identify what is currently working and break goals into manageable steps. I incorporate elements of Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Reality Therapy, and EMDR as well. I prioritize strength-focused and client-centered treatment approaches.

My communication style

Clients can expect warm and collaborative communication. I emphasize building a strong therapeutic relationship and keeping sessions engaging while focused on progress.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was originally attracted to the field because I was interested in the mental side of athletic performance, learning, and motivation. As I began working in the field and supporting clients, that original interest grew into supporting people to better achieve their personal goals, regardless of setting.

My goals for you

Goal-setting is central to my work. I help clients break goals into smaller, workable steps so progress becomes realistic and measurable. We revisit goals regularly, using tools like the PHQ-9 to track movement and adjust as needed.

Our first session

The first session is a mix of information gathering and clarifying what brought you to therapy right now. We focus on understanding your current situation, what you want to get out of our work, and identifying one realistic step to try in the week ahead. My goal is for you to leave feeling understood and empowered.
