About Andrea

Andrea Schmidt is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Addiction Counselor practicing in Colorado with more than 15 years of experience working with diverse populations. She holds the credentials LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) and CSW (a social work credential), which reflect her clinical training and commitment to professional practice.

Andrea emphasizes understanding why people behave and react the way they do, and she helps clients develop awareness of patterns that no longer serve them. By examining thoughts, perceptions, and projections, she supports clients in evaluating and adjusting responses so they can move toward clearer thinking and healthier choices. Her work addresses issues such as substance use, trauma, relationships, family of origin dynamics, parenting concerns, depression, anxiety, and fear.

Her approach is relational and client-focused - she meets people where they are, listens carefully, and guides sessions so clients feel heard and understood. Andrea prioritizes practical, solution-focused strategies that clients can use as they progress toward agreed-upon goals. She views transformation as a collaborative process that begins with willingness to explore inner experience and to use personal strengths and resources to create a life with less isolation, shame, guilt, and blame.

Andrea welcomes inquiries from potential clients who are ready to take the next step toward change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Andrea draws from Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to tailor care to each person. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current connection and trust, helping people address relationship wounds, attachment issues, and family dynamics. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a compassionate, nonjudgmental stance where the therapist follows the client’s lead, supporting self-exploration and the development of personal strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that contribute to substance use or interpersonal conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Andrea works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit best based on individual needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to access consistent support around work, family, or caregiving responsibilities. These options allow clients to engage in therapy from locations that work for them and to choose the format that feels most comfortable for their healing and growth.
