Andrea Gilbert, LPC

Andrea Gilbert is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan who brings 17 years of professional experience to her work with adults and families. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, navigate relationship and family conflicts, and heal from trauma and abuse. Andrea creates a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients are encouraged to explore thoughts and feelings openly and to build practical skills for coping and connection.

Her approach emphasizes partnership - she collaborates with each person to identify goals and to find strategies that fit their life and values. Andrea recognizes that reaching out for help takes courage, and she honors that first step while guiding clients toward greater resilience, clearer communication, and healthier patterns. She works patiently and respectfully to support growth at a pace that feels right for each individual.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Andrea uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and healing. One approach emphasizes skills-based work to reduce stress and anxiety - teaching breathing and coping strategies, improving sleep routines, and developing tools to manage daily challenges. Another approach centers on trauma-informed care to help people process past harm, improve safety in relationships, and rebuild emotional balance. Both approaches are rooted in research and tailored to each person’s needs.

Finding the right method is a collaborative process. Andrea works with clients to identify goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan over time so the approach fits the client’s preferences and life circumstances. The therapist and client decide together what feels most helpful.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging allow therapy to fit into busy schedules and reach people across different locations within Michigan. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access help from home, and choose the format that best supports progress.
