Andrea Strayer, LCSW

Andrea Strayer is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Indiana with eight years of professional experience. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Bowling Green State University and completed a Master of Social Work at The Ohio State University. As an LCSW - a licensed clinical social worker - she offers clinical support to people facing a range of emotional and interpersonal struggles.

Andrea works with clients on stress and anxiety, family conflicts, anger management, depression, and crisis intervention. She practices using a solution-focused approach that helps identify the specific challenge, build a clear plan to address it, and put that plan into action. Andrea aims to support and empower clients as they pursue both short-term relief and longer-term, more fulfilling goals for their lives.

Solution-Focused Care and Online Access

Andrea primarily uses a solution-focused approach, which narrows attention on the specific goals a client wants to reach and on practical steps to get there. This method is goal-oriented and often helps clients make measurable progress on immediate concerns such as stress, anger, or relationship tensions.

In addition to her solution-focused work, Andrea incorporates evidence-based techniques that teach concrete coping skills and problem-solving strategies. These approaches help clients manage symptoms, navigate family conflicts, and develop healthier patterns of responding to everyday challenges.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Andrea works collaboratively with each client to determine what methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She helps clients adapt strategies over time so therapy stays aligned with changing priorities.

Online therapy offers practical benefits - it makes scheduling more flexible and allows clients to meet by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options can make consistent treatment easier to maintain, especially for people balancing work, caregiving, or health concerns, while still receiving care from a licensed professional.
