Background and approach
With thirteen years of professional experience and a California marriage and family therapist license, she blends evidence-informed tools with a candid style. Sessions aim to pinpoint patterns that keep problems going and to practice new responses that fit daily life. Her work addresses caregiver stress, communication breakdowns, divorce and separation issues, forgiveness, multicultural concerns, panic attacks, sexuality, women’s concerns, and workplace stress.
She offers concrete steps people can try between sessions to test what helps. Tandrea emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change. She values honest, open dialogue and sees progress as a collaboration.
If someone wants a direct communicator who sets clear goals, her style may be a good match.
How her approaches shape online care
Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's priorities and uses empathic listening to help people feel heard and understood. This approach helps when someone needs a space to name their worries and decide what matters most to them in therapy.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and practicing different responses. It can be useful for anxiety, panic attacks, and workplace or relationship stress because it breaks problems into concrete steps to try between sessions.
She will work with each person to choose the best approach based on goals, preferences, and what shows up in early sessions. Figuring out the right fit is collaborative - the client’s feedback guides adjustments and the plan evolves as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit during a commute break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick coaching, or when typing is easier than talking. These options help people keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and other demands.
