About Andra
Andra Blackheart is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida. She draws on five years of clinical experience to help people who feel disconnected after big life changes or traumatic events. Andra focuses on helping clients notice what matters to them and take practical steps toward clearer relationships and personal goals.
She commonly works with people facing relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, and questions about self-esteem.
How Andra works
Anxiety, depression, stress, career shifts, and neurodivergence like ADHD or autism are also within her focus. Andra also helps people dealing with family problems, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, or midlife questions. Her style centers on a collaborative, client-centered approach.
She listens for strengths and practical options. Sessions emphasize concrete skills, small experiments, and changes that fit a person's life rather than long theory talks. Andra uses techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral work and mindfulness to help manage distress and shift unhelpful thinking.
She also brings existential ideas about meaning and motivational interviewing strategies to support change. Conversations can include coaching elements aimed at clear goals and next steps. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Andra works in English and practices in Florida as an LCSW. Starting is straightforward: complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an appointment when ready.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what matters, and helps people name their priorities and options. This approach is useful for issues like relationship questions and feeling disconnected.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test small behavior changes. It is practical and often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps.
Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment and teaches simple practices to reduce reactivity. It can be helpful for managing overwhelming emotions and building steady habits.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which tools fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Plans can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or text messaging can be suited to brief check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it easier to fit help into a busy life while using the approaches above to focus on concrete change and connection.
