About Andrea
Andrea Ellis is a licensed clinician in Maryland with three years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety and guides them through grief, trauma, and major life changes. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at clear steps people can use between sessions.
Andrea listens with respect and sensitivity. She works with individuals on relationship and intimacy-related concerns, parenting pressures, sleep problems, and self-esteem struggles.
Background and approach
She also addresses obsessive thoughts, compulsions, and symptoms commonly associated with ADHD and depression. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs and goals. Andrea talks through what is happening now, identifies small changes that might help, and builds a plan together.
She keeps language simple so clients can try techniques right away. Her experience includes supporting people through trauma and abuse recovery and offering guidance for family-related stress without running group or family sessions. Andrea accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English using video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Many people come for short-term help with a specific problem, while others prefer ongoing work. The first step is a brief questionnaire that leads to scheduling. Andrea aims to make starting therapy straightforward and focused on what matters most to each person.
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Andrea uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and thoughtful reflection. One common approach she uses teaches skills for managing intense anxiety and stress, such as breathing and grounding exercises, brief exposure practices to reduce avoidance, and step-by-step problem solving to handle day-to-day triggers. These methods help when worries, panic, or repetitive thoughts interfere with everyday life.Another approach centers on processing grief and trauma at a manageable pace. This work combines careful listening with gradual steps to address painful memories and rebuild routines, helping people regain a sense of control after loss or hurt. These techniques can also support improvements in sleep and relationship strain that often follow trauma.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Andrea will talk with each person about their goals, what has felt helpful in the past, and how they want therapy to fit into their life. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let conversations feel more like in-person sessions, phone sessions need less bandwidth, live chat allows quick check-ins during the day, and text messaging supports brief reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep consistent contact as work proceeds.
