How Andrea works
That range means she has seen many kinds of problems and different levels of need. She also has experience with substance use and with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Her approach is person-centered and integrative.
She starts where a person is and adapts methods to match the issue and the person’s goals. Andrea draws on cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to guide sessions. Her style is warm and supportive while willing to challenge when needed.
She aims to build a trusting working relationship and partners with people to address current problems and practical goals. Sessions focus on useful skills, clearer thinking, and small changes that add up. Andrea believes getting help can feel hard and lonely at first, but that change is possible with steady support.
She encourages people to reach out and begin by describing what they need and what they hope to change.

How Andrea’s Approaches Work Online
Andrea uses client-centered work that places each person’s goals and experience first. This approach means sessions begin by hearing where someone is and what matters to them, then shaping the work around those priorities. It helps with feeling understood and setting realistic, personal goals.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT offers practical strategies for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by teaching skills for changing unhelpful thinking and behavior.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Andrea will collaborate with each person to choose or blend methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying things, checking how they feel, and adjusting as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexible options. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and chat or messaging can fit brief check-ins or busy schedules. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other obligations while still using the same approaches and skills-building methods Andrea applies in person.
