Andrew McDalasair

Andrew McDalasair is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, and depression. He aims to make the therapy room a calm, nonjudgmental place where people can talk through hard feelings and learn kinder ways to relate to themselves.

He draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide work on mood, worry, and stress regulation. That includes helping people with body image concerns, attachment and family-of-origin wounds, and the emotional effects of adoption or foster care experiences.

Andrew has three years of clinical experience and practices in Montana. He supports people dealing with chronic pain and illness, grief and loss, and issues around control and dependent personality patterns. He also addresses challenges linked to blended families, fatherhood, and aging and geriatric transitions.

He is familiar with concerns that touch identity and relationships, including nontraditional relationship structures and aspects of kink or BDSM culture. He also has experience with military and first responder backgrounds and with LGBTQ+ related issues.

Sessions focus on collaboration and practical steps. Andrew works at the client’s pace, helping people notice patterns, try small changes, and build skills to manage symptoms and daily stresses. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability.

How evidence-based techniques guide online therapy

Andrew uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage mood and stress. One approach focuses on practical skill-building for anxiety and depression, teaching steps to manage worry, improve mood, and increase daily functioning. Another common thread is addressing attachment and family-of-origin patterns by noticing relationship habits and trying new ways of relating that reduce shame and conflict.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify which techniques fit their goals and values and will adjust methods over time based on what is most helpful.

If you are considering online work, confirm current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people choose a setting that feels calmer for them or select sessions that do not require video if that is preferable. Licensed professionals, including therapists, can help you weigh these practical benefits and pick an approach that suits your situation.
