Andrea Goolab, LMHC

Andrea Goolab is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with six years of experience supporting people as they work toward improved emotional wellbeing and long-term personal growth. She combines empathy, compassion, and collaborative care to create a supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to make meaningful changes.

Andrea tailors treatment to each individual's needs, helping clients identify challenges, develop practical coping strategies, and reach attainable goals. Her approach emphasizes building strong rapport and fostering resilience, guiding people through life transitions, emotional distress, and trauma-related concerns with steady, person-centered support.

She uses evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed therapy to increase self-awareness, improve emotional regulation, and encourage sustainable behavioral change. Andrea works with people experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma and abuse, and difficulties coping with life changes, focusing on practical tools and confidence-building that help clients navigate challenges and enhance overall mental wellbeing.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Andrea frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with more balanced thinking. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, and it often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching skills to change behaviors and responses.

She also applies Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) techniques when clients need support with emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT blends skill-building with acceptance strategies to reduce intense emotional reactions and improve coping in challenging situations.

Andrea integrates trauma-informed practices to recognize and respond to the effects of trauma, creating pacing and strategies that honor each person’s experience and readiness for change. Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process - Andrea collaborates with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences.

Online therapy with Andrea is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent care from licensed professionals without travel, allowing clients to engage in therapy in ways that fit their daily life and support sustained progress.
