About Andrea
Andrea Leung is a licensed therapist in California who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. She focuses on practical steps that make day-to-day life feel more manageable. Andrea also supports people dealing with relationship issues and big life changes.
Her approach centers on building self-love and clearer communication. She draws on clients' values, including faith when it matters to them, and will bring in Biblical perspectives if a client wants that included.
How Andrea works
Sessions aim to identify strengths and set simple goals people can act on between meetings. Andrea practices with cultural sensitivity and attention to personal background. She listens for patterns rooted in family of origin and helps people untangle those patterns to feel less stuck.
Communication problems and questions about life purpose are common topics she addresses. Therapy can involve talking through current problems, trying new ways to communicate, and practicing self-compassion exercises. Andrea keeps the work collaborative and grounded, explaining options and inviting feedback about what feels helpful.
With five years of clinical experience, Andrea holds both LMFT and LPCC credentials in California. She offers sessions in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese and adapts the pace and format to what each person needs.

How evidence-based techniques work online
Andrea uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address core problems people bring into therapy. One approach focuses on building self-compassion and self-worth through short exercises and practical homework that help with low self-esteem and depression. Another approach emphasizes improving communication skills with role-play, feedback, and small behavior changes that reduce conflict and increase connection. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will talk with each person about their goals, values, and preferences and then recommend techniques that fit. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress and needs become clearer. Online therapy makes these methods easier to use for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging support shorter check-ins and ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats offer flexibility for busy schedules and for people who prefer different ways of communicating.Start online instead of waiting
