About Andrea
Andrea Hickle is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low motivation, and self-esteem issues. Andrea aims to create a warm, open, and nonjudgmental space where people feel heard and supported.
She draws on experience from hospitals, schools, and independent practice. That mix shaped how she sees the role of relationships and environment in mental health.
How Andrea works
Andrea pays special attention to transitions and communication when family roles are changing. Many of her clients bring concerns about blended family dynamics, adoption and foster care, or caregiver stress. She also supports people working through grief, workplace strain, compassion fatigue, and questions about life purpose.
Sessions focus on practical steps to improve day-to-day functioning and relationships. Andrea uses a variety of approaches to match each person’s needs. She blends client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior methods, plus mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques.
The result is a collaborative process aimed at clear, manageable goals. Reaching out can feel hard, and Andrea emphasizes small, purposeful changes. She meets people where they are, helps sort priorities, and builds skills for coping with life changes.
Her goal is steady progress that fits each person’s values and routines.

How Andrea’s Approaches Work Online
Andrea uses client-centered therapy to build a respectful, listening-based relationship where the person’s goals guide each session. This approach helps clarify values and priorities and is useful when someone needs a steady, supportive place to talk about life changes.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change patterns that increase anxiety or low mood. Dialectical behavior therapy techniques add skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication when stress is high.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Andrea will work together with the person to identify what feels most useful, try strategies, and adjust the plan based on progress and preferences. The focus is on realistic goals and skills that fit everyday life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video calls let people work visually through issues and practice communication skills. Phone sessions are an alternative when video isn’t possible and can fit a work break. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, coaching moments, and ongoing encouragement between sessions.
