She practices in Florida and provides services in English.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Andrea uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are adapted to the needs of each client. One approach focuses on trauma-informed care, which helps individuals process and recover from experiences of abuse or other traumatic events by creating a structured and supportive treatment plan tailored to each person's history and symptoms. Another approach emphasizes family-focused interventions, which work with parents, caregivers, and family systems to improve communication, parenting strategies, and relational patterns that affect well-being. Andrea also applies general evidence-based methods to address mood and anxiety symptoms, helping clients develop practical coping skills and behavioral strategies to manage daily challenges.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Andrea works jointly with clients to evaluate what methods fit best based on their goals, preferences, and progress, adjusting techniques as needed to support meaningful change.

Online therapy with Andrea offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home or work, maintain consistent contact between meetings, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for the client while working with licensed professionals who tailor care to individual needs.
