About Andrew
Andrew McDalasair is an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) practicing in Montana with three years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, and depression and works with people dealing with related concerns such as family-of-origin issues, attachment struggles, and the burden of guilt and shame.
He uses straightforward, evidence-based techniques in sessions. Conversations are practical and focused on what feels most urgent to the person in front of him. Topics Andrew commonly addresses include adoption and foster care questions, fatherhood issues, body image worries, and problems tied to chronic illness or pain.
Andrew also supports people facing complex relationship arrangements and alternative sexual cultures, and he addresses control issues, co-occurring mental health concerns, and challenges tied to aging. He helps people who are processing traumatic events, coping with disaster, or managing mood regulation problems such as disruptive mood dysregulation concerns.
His work draws on clinical approaches that emphasize clear, observable techniques rather than abstract theory. Sessions tend to include identifying patterns, trying concrete tasks between meetings, and checking what changes in daily life. The pace is set by the client, with attention to values and practical goals.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work
Andrew’s practice emphasizes evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on observable changes and practical skills. One common method involves identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and testing small changes between sessions to see what shifts in daily life; this approach suits issues such as anxiety, depression, and persistent guilt. Another frequently used method is skills training for emotion regulation and stress management, which teaches concrete strategies to manage intense feelings and to reduce impulsive reactions.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist and client review what is most pressing, try approaches in session, and adjust based on what actually helps. That process keeps the work flexible and grounded in the client’s goals and preferences rather than a fixed program.
The practical benefits of online work are fitting sessions into a busy life and keeping momentum between visits. Because the profile does not list specific session formats, confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to keep regular check-ins, apply skills in real time, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can often adapt exercises and homework to the way a person lives, so sessions aim to plug into everyday routines without promising a particular service.
