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 often works with young adults facing the pressures of early adulthood. He speaks English and does not accept international clients.
Andrew helps people talk through daily overwhelm, worry, low mood, and the ripple effects those problems cause in work and relationships. He pays attention to family-of-origin issues, attachment concerns, adoption and foster care histories, and fatherhood questions. He also supports people dealing with body image, chronic illness or pain, and the complexities of alternative sexual cultures such as BDSM and kink.
In sessions he uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood and stress. Conversations are practical and direct, focused on the problems people bring into the room. He works with co-morbid conditions and with people processing grief, disaster response, or long-term medical challenges.
Andrew has also supported issues around blended family dynamics, dependent personality patterns, control struggles, and some disruptive mood presentations. He notes experience with aging and geriatric concerns and with people navigating major life transitions.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often used for mood and anxiety focus on changing unhelpful thinking and building practical coping skills. One common approach teaches ways to identify and reframe negative thoughts and to develop routines that reduce worry and low mood. This helps with day-to-day anxiety, low motivation, and feeling stuck after big life changes.Another useful method emphasizes behavioral strategies like activity scheduling, gradual exposure to feared situations, and pacing for people with chronic pain or fatigue. These steps are concrete and aim to restore functioning slowly, which can reduce stress and improve mood over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest which techniques to try first. Decisions are collaborative and can change as progress is reviewed.
If you plan to use online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking since this profile does not list formats explicitly. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, avoid travel time, and hold shorter check-ins when needed. Some people prefer video for face-to-face conversation while others like brief phone check-ins to stay consistent during work or school weeks. Choose what fits your routine and energy level.
