Andrea Mitchell, LPC

Andrea Mitchell, LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor), works from the conviction that beliefs about oneself shape how a person responds to life's difficulties. She creates a collaborative space where clients can examine their stories and develop practical, usable tools to support change. Emphasis is placed on strengthening a client's sense of self so they can better recognize what helps them and communicate those needs clearly.

Having grown up in an alcoholic home, Andrea understands how early experiences influence relationships and self-worth. That background informed her appreciation for both the cost of unmet needs and the healing power of supportive connection. Her professional passion is helping people move beyond mere survival toward a more engaged and resilient life.

Andrea works with adults facing depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, addiction, parenting challenges, and the lingering effects of childhood trauma. Her approach is conversational, interactive, and tailored to each person's situation. She encourages people to keep reaching toward the version of themselves they deserve - healing is possible, and clients do not have to navigate it alone.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Andrea commonly integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy into her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify core values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take committed action toward meaningful goals - it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that maintain distress and on practicing practical strategies to change those patterns - it is frequently helpful for mood disorders and anxiety. Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on processing the effects of traumatic experiences and developing coping skills to reduce their ongoing impact - it supports recovery from the lingering effects of childhood and adult trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Andrea collaborates with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative stance aligns with how licensed professionals and therapists tailor care to each person.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for accessibility and flexibility. Sessions may be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different rhythms and comfort levels, making it easier to receive consistent support while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
