About Andrea
Dr. Andrea Hayes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. She brings nine years of counseling experience and a background in education to her therapy.
Andrea focuses on creating a calm, respectful space so people feel heard and understood. Andrea combines straightforward talk with practical tools. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and change it.
Background and approach
Sessions are adjusted to each person’s needs and goals rather than following a fixed script. Her earlier work included roles in prison settings, juvenile justice, military facilities, and community agencies. That variety gave her experience supporting people facing trauma, substance concerns, mood challenges, and behavioral struggles.
Those experiences inform how she plans treatment and sets realistic goals. In sessions she emphasizes building trust and mutual respect. Therapy tends to be collaborative: she listens first, then offers strategies tailored to daily life.
People often leave with steps they can try between visits to manage stress, anxiety, or difficult moods. She also addresses concerns such as anger, grief, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, addiction, ADHD, bipolar challenges, and relationship stress. Additional interests include forgiveness work, veteran and armed forces issues, and developing self-love.
Andrea aims to guide each person toward practical change and steadier routines.
How CBT and online sessions can help with everyday challenges
In her work Andrea uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thinking patterns that keep them stuck. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions so you can test unhelpful beliefs and practice new responses; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, low mood, and anger.She pairs that approach with a person-centered way of working that starts with listening. Together the therapist and client decide which methods fit best based on the person’s goals, symptoms, and daily routine. That collaborative process means approaches can be adjusted over time if something isn’t helpful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let you work face-to-face when a longer session is needed, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text messaging support shorter check-ins or on-the-go reflection. These options make it possible to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between sessions.
