About Andrea
Andrea Bragdon is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who focuses on practical, talk-based therapy for common life challenges. She uses straightforward language and a warm style to help people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. Andrea has seven years of clinical experience and has worked with people facing depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and self-esteem concerns.
She also supports clients dealing with relationship strain, career questions, parenting stress, and intimacy or sexual-culture concerns such as BDSM and non-monogamous arrangements.
Background and approach
Her approach blends acceptance and commitment ideas with mindfulness and solution-focused techniques. Sessions often include skill-building, values clarification, and short exercises to test what helps between meetings. She adapts the work to each person's needs rather than following a single rigid method.
Andrea emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and a light touch of humor in sessions. She aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through painful memories, sort out relationship patterns, or plan practical next steps for daily life.
Living and working in Florida, she holds the LMHC and LCPC credentials and has helped people with a wide range of concerns, including mood disorders, trauma, body image, and chronic illness. Her style is collaborative and focused on realistic, achievable change.
Approach-driven care delivered online
Andrea uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in ways that are easy to follow. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small actions toward those values. It often helps with anxiety, stress, and life changes by teaching simple skills to notice thoughts and keep moving forward. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person in front of her. Sessions aim to be respectful and nonjudgmental so people can speak openly about relationships, trauma, or career concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. She collaborates with each person to refine techniques and adjust the plan as progress and challenges appear.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and exercises that use visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit quick updates, short coaching-style exchanges, or those who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work between sessions.
