About Andree
Andree McColl-Ravanelli is a licensed clinical social worker with seven years of professional experience in California. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety and works with clients facing LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, and challenges with motivation and self-esteem. Andree emphasizes each person's strengths and skillsets as part of moving forward.
She approaches therapy as a collaborative process that honors a person's own knowledge of their life. Sessions are aimed at practical steps people can try between meetings, along with exploring patterns that get in the way of feeling better.
How Andree works
The goal is to build confidence and clearer choices rather than rely on jargon or long lists of techniques. Andree supports people dealing with caregiver strain, communication problems, and the fallout of divorce or separation. She also helps clients who are wrestling with life purpose, midlife transitions, money and financial stress, sexuality, and women's issues.
Post-traumatic stress and ongoing effects of past abuse are included among the concerns she addresses. Her work is direct and respectful, with an emphasis on real-world changes. Clients can expect a calm presence, focused listening, and help turning insights into manageable action.
Andree invites people to take the first step toward a more satisfying life and offers support through that change.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
Andree uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach emphasizes identifying and changing patterns that keep stress and anxiety active, helping people try small behavioral steps and coping tools to reduce overwhelm. Another central method concentrates on processing the effects of trauma and abuse in a steady way so memories and reactions feel less disruptive and daily life becomes more manageable.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Andree will listen to a person's history, goals, and preferences and then suggest techniques that fit. That collaborative process means approaches can shift as needs change, with the client helping choose what feels most useful.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video lets people see facial cues and have a fuller conversation, while phone calls can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to get consistent support around work, caregiving, or travel.
