If urgent help is needed at any time, she advises contacting 1-800-273-TALK or 911.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Andrea uses Client-Centered Therapy to create an empathetic, nonjudgmental environment where clients' perspectives guide the work. This approach helps people who are navigating relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, parenting issues, and life transitions by focusing on personal strengths and goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and to develop practical strategies for change. CBT is commonly applied for anxiety, depression, mood regulation, coping with stress, and addictive behaviors.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity to stress, manage anger, and improve emotional regulation. These techniques can complement other treatments and support everyday coping.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Andrea works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine elements from different approaches to best support each client.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule consistent sessions around work, family, or geographical constraints and can support continuity of care when life circumstances change.
