Therapeutic approaches you can access online
Andrea often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and works well for anxiety, panic, mood shifts, and patterns that feed stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is another approach she draws from to address relationship pain and attachment worries by focusing on feelings and interaction patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they set aims, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most in real life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video lets you read facial cues during deeper conversations. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill practice, or ongoing reminders between sessions.
