Dr. Andrew Mendonsa

Dr. Andrew Mendonsa helps people facing work stress, relationship struggles, and questions about identity find clearer footing. He is a licensed psychologist in Colorado and California and brings 22 years of experience to practical, goal-focused care. Many come to him for career concerns, anxiety, depression, and issues tied to intimacy or sexual expression. Sessions aim to reduce shame and increase choices for a more authentic life.

He combines straightforward talk with exercises you can use between meetings. That might mean learning ways to manage anxiety in the moment, testing different communication strategies, or setting steps for a career change. The work is collaborative - you set priorities and he helps shape a plan to reach them.

Andrew's background includes community mental health, addiction services, the criminal justice system, and work with high-achieving professionals and executives. That mix informs how he understands stress, perfectionism, and the pressures of demanding jobs. He draws on clinical experience to tailor approaches to each person's situation.

His clinical tools include acceptance-based methods, attachment-focused ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, and DBT skills. Those approaches are used to address trauma, grief, compulsive behaviors, burnout, and relationship concerns. Time-limited work and coaching-style goals are available for people who want focused change.

How Andrew’s Approaches Fit Online Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and values-based action. It helps people manage anxiety, depression, and decisions about work or relationships by clarifying what matters and taking small steps toward it.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relational patterns shape present connections. It can be useful for intimacy struggles, communication problems, and repairing trust in close relationships.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and test them with real-life behavior changes. It is often used for anxiety, sleep problems, and mood management.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. Plans can mix approaches and evolve as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session delivery methods, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins between longer meetings. It also supports ongoing work during career transitions or when managing fluctuating schedules. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and skills practice for remote sessions so the work remains focused and practical.
