Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Andrea integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into online work to address a range of concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most to them and build actions that align with those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fight them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Andrea works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences. She tailors interventions over time, combining techniques in ways that support practical progress and emotional resilience.

Online therapy with Andrea is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase accessibility and flexibility. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and other commitments, and they allow ongoing therapeutic support from locations across Texas. Licensed professionals like Andrea adapt evidence-based practices to the online setting to help clients move toward their goals in a way that fits their life.
