About Andrea
Andrea Goodwin is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 16 years of experience. She offers a calm, respectful space where people can bring worries about stress, anxiety, depression, or self-esteem and talk them through.

Background and approach
Conversations focus on what matters to the person and on small, doable changes. Andrea also brings attention to longer standing patterns such as attachment issues, family of origin problems, and codependency. She supports people working through substance concerns, domestic violence histories, or the emotional effects of adoption and foster care.
Goals often include clearer communication, healthier boundaries, and improved self-regard. Sessions blend practical tools and reflective work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to shift thinking and behavior.
Client-Centered methods are used to keep the work grounded in the person’s own priorities. She practices from Arkansas and provides services in English. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Andrea draws on Client-Centered Therapy to put the person's priorities at the center of sessions. This approach emphasizes active listening and building a trusting working relationship so clients can explore feelings and make decisions that fit their values.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and skill-based, and it can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and changing patterns that maintain low mood or worry.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will collaborate with clients to see which methods match their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as needed so the plan fits the person's life and rhythm.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video sessions are useful for deeper conversation and visual connection, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can support shorter check-ins or work between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
