About Andrea
Andrea Maxwell is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and related struggles. She helps people manage panic, addiction, grief, anger, and self-esteem concerns. Her work also covers parenting challenges, adoption and foster care issues, and family origin or family problems.
Andrea practices in a warm, person-centered way. She approaches sessions with respect for each person's experience. She listens first, then helps clients name strengths and next steps.
Background and approach
Short-term goals and practical skills are common parts of her work. Her sessions may use cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking and promote new coping habits. She also draws on solution-focused and motivational strategies to set achievable goals and build momentum.
When trauma is central, she uses trauma-focused tools to help reduce its hold on everyday life. Andrea has three years of professional counseling experience and holds an LPC credential in Michigan. She has worked with people who face a wide range of life changes and mental health concerns.
She meets clients where they are and helps them move toward clearer choices. Sessions are offered in English and available by several online formats. The approach is collaborative: clients and Andrea work together to pick strategies that fit the person and their life circumstances.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Andrea uses client-centered therapy to follow each person's lead and build from their strengths. This approach focuses on listening, acceptance, and helping clients clarify what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a hands-on method she often uses to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors that reduce anxiety and depression symptoms.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Andrea will talk with clients about their goals and preferences, then combine methods that fit their situation. Together they check progress and adjust techniques so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversations that resemble in-person sessions. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, step-by-step planning, or when scheduling needs a quick option.
