How Andrea works
She practices from Colorado and has held licenses in multiple states during her career. In sessions she pays close attention to how the body and emotions affect thinking. She teaches skills to regulate the nervous system so people can feel less overwhelmed.
That makes it easier to think clearly, problem-solve, and rebuild confidence.

Andrea invites honest conversation and welcomes whatever topics come up during sessions.
People who meet with her can expect to look at current problems and underlying patterns. She helps identify strengths and then build steps that fit each person’s life. Her aim is to help clients make choices from a calmer, more confident place, and to restore a sense of balance and purpose.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Andrea uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the effects of traumatic experiences; this work helps people process difficult memories and reduce their impact on daily life. Motivational Interviewing is another tool she uses to explore readiness for change and to build personal motivation in a collaborative way.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Andrea will discuss what feels most helpful based on each person’s goals, history, and preferences. She encourages input from clients so therapy methods match real needs and priorities.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and provide alternatives when bandwidth or camera time is limited. Working remotely still allows for structured skill practice, thoughtful conversation, and steady progress toward goals.
