Background and approach
Andrea helps with a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar disorder, grief, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. She also supports people facing family-of-origin problems, caregiver stress, codependency, substance concerns, and first responder issues. Her sessions draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered approaches.
In practice she focuses on building coping skills, improving emotion regulation, and strengthening attachment patterns. Andrea has worked for more than a decade with people navigating big life changes and the everyday strain of stress. She practices from Vermont and offers help to English-speaking clients, including international clients who can take part from other locations.
She encourages anyone feeling stuck or overwhelmed to take the first step. The process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session that fits the client's needs.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and take committed action toward them. It uses simple exercises to notice thoughts and focus on meaningful steps, which can help with anxiety and coping with life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and build healthier habits, useful for depression, anxiety, and mood regulation.
Andrea treats the choice of approach as a shared process. She will listen to a client's goals and preferences, then suggest approaches that fit those needs. Together they try techniques and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls let therapists and clients work face to face when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, between-session support, or when writing feels more comfortable.
These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel. Licensed professionals can use the different formats to practice the same skills and tools they would in person, while tailoring pace and frequency to each person's needs.
