About Andrea
Andrea trained in counseling psychology and holds professional credentials that qualify her to provide therapeutic services. She has worked across diverse settings including schools, community mental health agencies, substance abuse clinics, and correctional facilities, and has experience treating addiction, anger, depression, anxiety, trauma, and symptoms of serious mental illness such as bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Her practice also addresses relationship and family concerns, panic and social anxiety, body image, attachment issues, and challenges with guilt, shame, and impulsivity.
Andrea brings warmth and approachable energy to sessions, often using humor and a lighthearted style alongside evidence-based strategies. Outside of clinical work she enjoys time with family and friends and her labrador retriever Bentley, and she values travel, music, dance, and laughter. She is currently licensed in Texas, Oregon, and Maryland and offers care in English.
Practical Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Andrea commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and person-centered and solution-focused techniques to guide online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, panic, and other concerns. Person-centered work emphasizes empathy and the client-therapist relationship, creating space for clients to explore values, self-worth, and life purpose. Solution-focused techniques concentrate on strengths and actionable steps, helping clients set clear goals and build momentum for change.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Andrea collaborates with each client to determine which techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting plans as progress is made. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved and invested in their care.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy schedules or limited local options. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can access consistent care with flexibility in timing and format. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions, practice strategies between meetings, and integrate therapy into everyday life with fewer logistical barriers.
