About Andree
Andree McColl-Ravanelli is a licensed clinical social worker in California with seven years of practice. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. She also supports those facing trauma, challenges with self-esteem, and concerns related to LGBTQ+ identity.
Her style is collaborative and respectful. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions are practical and straightforward, focusing on clear steps people can use between meetings.
Background and approach
Andree brings experience working with a range of concerns tied to life transitions. She helps people navigate caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, and midlife questions. She also addresses money and financial stress, sexuality, and issues many women face.
When trauma and abuse are part of the story, she works carefully and at a pace people can manage. For those with attention challenges or low motivation, she helps set small, doable goals to regain momentum. Andree pays attention to how identity and relationships shape daily life.
Her approach centers on collaboration - hearing what matters to the client, then shaping practical steps to reach those goals. She supports people looking for greater self-love, clearer life purpose, or relief from ongoing worry. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to make the process steady and understandable.
Approaches that guide online work and practical care
Many people who reach out are coping with anxiety, stress, or the aftereffects of trauma. Andree uses evidence-based techniques that focus on clear, practical strategies. For example, brief structured problem-solving helps break big stressors into manageable steps and teaches ways to approach challenges without becoming overwhelmed. Another common approach emphasizes building confidence and self-esteem through small behavioral changes and supportive feedback. This helps people practice new habits, notice progress, and increase motivation over time. When trauma is part of the picture, she uses careful, paced methods that prioritize stability and gradual processing rather than pushing for quick change. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most workable, then tailor methods so sessions feel relevant and clear. The plan can shift as needs change. Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when video is difficult, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options offer flexibility for scheduling, different communication preferences, and ways to keep momentum between meetings.Questions people ask
