Andrea Dilley-Frame, LPC

Andrea Dilley-Frame is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia with 20 years of experience working with individuals facing complex emotional and relational challenges. As an LPC she holds a professional counseling credential that authorizes her to provide psychotherapy in Virginia and reflects extensive training and supervised practice.

She focuses on helping people navigate depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, addictions, and other mood disorders. Her practice also addresses related concerns such as abandonment and attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, control issues, family of origin and family problems, workplace stress, and difficulties related to personality and mood disorders.

Andrea’s approach is trauma-informed and client-centered, grounded in an understanding of how life experiences shape emotional responses and relationship patterns. She creates a supportive space where clients can explore difficult emotions, build resilience, and develop practical strategies for change. Drawing on two decades of clinical work, she guides people through healing and growth with empathy, clear clinical skills, and a focus on helping clients form healthier patterns in relationships and daily life.

Approaches for Online Therapy and Relational Healing

Andrea Dilley-Frame incorporates Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early and current relationship patterns influence emotional responses and interpersonal behavior. This approach helps clients understand difficulties with trust, abandonment, codependency, and patterns that repeat across relationships.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and mood problems. CBT offers practical tools for managing symptoms and building coping strategies.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is applied when clients need skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT provides concrete techniques to manage intense emotions and reduce self-destructive patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Andrea works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and to tailor interventions so the therapy fits the client rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for scheduling and allow ongoing access to support between appointments. These formats make it easier to integrate therapy into work and family life while maintaining continuity of care with a licensed professional.
