Background and approach
Andrea works with concerns around relationships, communication, and parenting challenges with straightforward, goal-oriented tools. Many clients work on self-esteem, body image, or past hurts such as abandonment and infidelity. Andrea also helps people navigate blended family issues, divorce and separation, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
Career stress, compassion fatigue, and finding life purpose are other common topics she addresses. Her approach pulls from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Solution-focused strategies guide short-term goal setting and action steps.
The Gottman Method is used when improving relationship communication and rebuilding trust feels important. Sessions are offered in English and Andrea accepts international clients. She uses clear, practical language and aims to make therapy feel personal to each person.
People who want direct guidance and small, achievable steps often find her style helpful.
Online approaches that focus on action and connection
Andrea commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in online sessions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration to understand a person's goals and values. It helps people feel heard and then shape goals that matter to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and try methods that match their needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made as progress and feedback guide the plan.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people meet face-to-face from different places. Phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a work break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for frequent, brief check-ins and for people who prefer written communication. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit into busy schedules and different daily routines.
