Andrea Ziebell, LMFT

Andrea Ziebell is a California-licensed LMFT who creates an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared and explored. She emphasizes collaboration, working with each person to tailor strategies that address their particular concerns and goals. Drawing on a range of therapeutic techniques, she helps individuals learn about their symptoms, develop coping strategies, and build a personalized wellness plan that may include journaling, skills practice, or other activities depending on what fits best.

Andrea offers support for stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, and life transitions, and she also addresses issues related to aging, caregiving, substance use, family conflict, and legal-related impacts. Her background includes work with abused and neglected children as well as experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings with adults of all genders. She integrates solution-focused work and cognitive behavioral techniques when appropriate, and she can provide psychoeducation, communication and anger management skill building, and motivational support during recovery efforts.

With 15 years of experience in the mental health field, Andrea approaches therapy with sensitivity to each personâs history and strengths and aims to be a steady, validating presence throughout the therapeutic process. Therapy sessions are provided in English and are offered through a variety of remote formats to fit different needs.

Approaches in Online Therapy and What They Offer

Andrea uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathetic environment where the individualâs priorities guide the work; this approach is helpful for people seeking support with relationship concerns, life transitions, or a need for steady emotional validation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties. Mindfulness therapy supports present-moment awareness and stress reduction through simple practices that can complement other treatment strategies and help with mood management and coping with traumatic memories.

Determining the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Andrea collaborates with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and adapts methods over time so the work fits the individual rather than expecting the individual to fit a single technique.

Offering sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging increases flexibility and accessibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or health needs. These remote options allow licensed professionals to meet clients where they are, make scheduling easier, and support consistent engagement in therapy over time.
