About Andrea
Andrea Mitchell uses a blend of practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and trauma. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas and brings 16 years of experience to her work. Her style is conversational and hands-on, focused on helping adults build a stronger sense of self and clearer ways to communicate needs.
She creates a collaborative space where clients can talk through their history and current struggles.
Background and approach
Sessions include concrete tools and simple exercises to try between meetings. Andrea prioritizes helping people move from just surviving toward living with more ease and agency. Her background includes lived experience with family addiction, which shaped her interest in attachment, abandonment, and codependency issues.
That personal perspective informs her sensitivity to shame, guilt, and the long shadow of childhood wounds. She combines that understanding with clinical methods to address mood disorders and compulsive behaviors. Andrea draws from several therapy approaches to fit each person’s situation, including acceptance-based work, cognitive strategies, and trauma-focused techniques.
She helps people practice new ways of responding to intense feelings, manage cravings or compulsions, and repair patterns that undermine relationships and self-worth. Clients can expect a warm, steady presence and practical guidance. Andrea helps set small goals, track progress, and adjust plans when needed.
She encourages self-compassion and steady, achievable steps toward change.
Evidence-based approaches delivered online
Andrea commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with their values. ACT focuses on taking meaningful action even when difficult feelings are present and can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify thinking patterns that fuel stress and mood problems. CBT offers step-by-step skills to change behavior and test unhelpful beliefs, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing cravings or compulsive behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. This shared decision-making helps tailor sessions to what actually helps the client in daily life.
Online therapy makes those approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. Video works well for deeper work and exercises that use visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth, while chat and text are useful for quick check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options give flexibility for scheduling and for using tools in ways that fit a person's routine.
