About Andrea
Andrea Dilley-Frame is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with 20 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression, mood swings, trauma, and addiction. Her way of working is straightforward and steady, aimed at reducing immediate distress while building long-term coping skills.
She spends time listening to each person’s story to understand how past experiences shape current reactions. That background work helps guide practical steps for day-to-day life.
Background and approach
Clients can expect a mix of talking, skill practice, and reflection to address problems like workplace stress, communication breakdowns, and family of origin issues. Andrea draws on approaches such as attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior skills, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. These methods are used to help people manage strong emotions, break unhelpful patterns, and strengthen relationships with others and themselves.
She frames techniques in plain language and shows how to use them between sessions. Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to the person’s needs. Andrea helps clients set realistic goals, notice progress, and adjust plans when needed.
Her focus includes areas like abandonment fears, codependency, control issues, substance concerns, personality and mood disorders, and post-traumatic stress. People meet with Andrea by phone, video, live chat, or text-based messaging when that format fits their life. She works in English and practices from Virginia.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Andrea often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks problems into manageable steps and gives practical tools for anxiety, depression, and mood struggles. Attachment-based therapy is another focus and looks at how early relationships influence current patterns; it can help with fears of abandonment, communication problems, and relationship patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea collaborates with each person to choose and adapt methods that match their goals and daily life. She checks in on what helps and shifts the plan when something isn’t working so the process stays focused and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls let you work face to face when that matters, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief ongoing reflection between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy schedule.
