Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Andrea draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skill building to address stress and anxiety - teaching strategies for managing overwhelming thoughts, reducing physiological arousal, and increasing day-to-day coping. She also uses relational and attachment-focused work to explore patterns in relationships and intimacy, helping clients improve communication, boundaries, and emotional connection.

For clients affected by trauma and abuse, Andrea employs trauma-informed evidence-based practices that prioritize pacing, stability, and the gradual processing of difficult experiences, supporting recovery in ways that fit each person’s readiness. Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Andrea collaborates with clients to determine which strategies align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for this work - sessions by video call or phone allow for face-to-face conversation from home, while live chat and text-based messaging provide flexible, on-the-go options for check-ins and support. These formats increase access and make it easier to sustain continuity of care around busy schedules and life demands.
