About Andrea
Andrea Hare is a Kansas-based licensed social worker who helps people manage anxiety, stress, depression, grief, and major life changes. She brings a calm, practical approach to conversations so people can find small, useful steps forward. Andrea uses clear language and focuses on what feels most relevant in everyday life.
She draws on several well-known approaches to counseling, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize practical skills - for example pacing difficult emotions, changing unhelpful thought patterns, and building healthier communication habits. The work is collaborative; clients have a say in goals and pacing. Andrea has four years of clinical experience and holds the KS Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker credential.
Her background includes working with caregivers, veterans, and people dealing with chronic illness and loss. She often helps those who feel isolated, overwhelmed by caregiving, or stuck after a major life transition. Common topics she addresses are relationship struggles, parenting stress, burnout and compassion fatigue, addiction concerns, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy.
She also supports people facing fertility or end-of-life questions and those coping with physical health challenges. Andrea blends skill-building with a client-centered stance to help people regain a sense of control. Sessions are offered in English and are available via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Getting started involves a short questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment that fits the client's needs and timing.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes because it focuses on meaningful goals rather than trying to eliminate all difficult feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy teaches practical techniques to identify and change thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. It often includes exercises between sessions and works well for anxiety, depression, sleep, and coping with health concerns.
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and values, offering empathic listening and collaboration to set goals that matter to the individual. This approach supports people feeling isolated, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then try methods that fit. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust tactics over time based on what actually helps.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which gives practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can be a quick check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives, manage transportation limits, and maintain momentum between appointments.
