Andy Lawson, MA, NICC – NICC therapist with a Master’s of Arts in Marriage & Family Therapy from Liberty University.
All MCO counselors are approved to work in all 50 states.
Showing up for counseling requires you to trust someone you’ve never met and to talk about things you’d maybe rather not. I’m here to commend you for your courage and to walk with you at the pace of your comfort.
My name is Andy. I love my family, Jesus, and the chance to jump out of a perfectly functioning plane. I’m an artist and musician in my head and a therapist in real life.
My approach to counseling is varied. I am trained in object relations, internal family systems, emotionally focused therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy.
Additionally, spiritual integration is a priority. You are divinely made with holy intention. Grace means that you get to love the you that He created. Our job is to find and live in that.
I am honored to be considered to meet you where you are, and I believe that God is faithful to walk alongside us to where you are going. In the meantime, you are right where you are supposed to be.

MyCounselor has as its aim to be the gold standard in faith-based mental health. Our counselors are required to have undergraduate studies in theology, practical ministry, or psychology and have completed a graduate (master’s) degree in mental health (professional counseling, clinical social work, marriage & family therapy, etc.).
After submitting an application package that includes transcripts, references, and video responses to a structured interview, qualified candidates are invited into a multi-stage interview process. During the process candidates will meet with clinical supervisors, perform a mock therapy session, and participate in a training with the MyCounselor clinical team. If advanced from the final interview with the Director of Clinical Services, candidates are offered a position on the clinical team and matriculated into the MyCounselor residency.
During residency counselors complete multiple rotations of clinical training and experience with specific populations, including individuals, couples, families, and teens. Specifically, residents are trained in the MyCounselor proprietary model of care: Neuroscience Informed Christian Counseling® (NICC) as applied in practice with various presenting issues.
The thorough training our counselors receive in a broad array of specialized rotations equips them to address counseling concerns ranging from the common to the complex.
