Andrea speaks English and offers sessions from Georgia. Andrea has practiced in many settings, including independent practice, inpatient and outpatient care, crisis call centers, suicide hotlines, and military installations.
How Andrea works
That range gives her experience with different needs and life stages. She has provided individual and couples support and led group psychoeducation presentations. In sessions she uses goal-focused work to change unhelpful behavior and build coping skills.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are part of how she helps people shift patterns that feel stuck. She also draws on client-centered methods to keep the work grounded in each person’s goals and pace. When relationships are the concern she incorporates Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas and elements of the Gottman Method to improve communication and connection.
Andrea also brings Jungian perspectives when helpful for exploring meaning and life purpose. These methods are used to address issues such as grief, intimacy, parenting challenges, career concerns, and difficulties with self-esteem. Andrea aims to partner with clients so they leave sessions with clear next steps and skills to use between meetings.
Her practical style focuses on real change, not just talk. She encourages self-care and balanced living as part of long-term wellbeing.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Andrea blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shape online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following each person’s goals, which helps people feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers practical tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, addiction, and stress.She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relationship issues are central. EFT targets emotional patterns in close relationships and helps partners or individuals improve connection and communication. These approaches are chosen to fit the client’s goals, whether the focus is mood, relationships, or managing daily stressors.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss needs, goals, and preferences and help decide which methods to try. That collaborative process means plans can change as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different needs. Video lets people use visual cues for relationship work, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief ongoing reflection between sessions. These options give flexibility for scheduling, pacing, and how a person prefers to engage with therapy.
