Background and approach
She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Sessions often include simple exercises to practice between meetings. Her background includes work across community mental health, independent practice, school settings, and substance use treatment.
That range informs how she adapts tools to everyday life and different stressors. Andrea often helps with issues tied to relationships, communication problems, caregiver stress, and grief around separation. People who choose her can expect straightforward language and a plan focused on realistic steps.
She frames progress as gradual and practical, not instant. Andrea encourages clients to notice small changes and build on them.
Using client-centered and CBT approaches online
Andrea blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques to support people via remote sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people find their own solutions; it is useful when someone needs validation and space to clarify values and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms.Choosing an approach is a team effort. Andrea works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. She may combine approaches and adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which let people connect in ways that suit their day. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support brief updates, skill practice between meetings, and flexible check-ins during busy schedules.
These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent during life changes and when time or travel are limited. Andrea aims to match approach and format so work in therapy fits into a person's real life.
