About Andrea
Andrea Roland brings focused support for stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, and related issues such as sleep, eating, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes. She uses straightforward, practical help to guide people through hard moments.
Andrea is credentialed as LPCC, which stands for Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, and she draws on more than a decade of direct counseling work.
Background and approach
Her approach is warm and down-to-earth. She aims to make people feel heard and respected. Sessions center on building connection and helping people regain control over daily challenges.
Andrea blends person-centered and humanistic ideas with cognitive-behavioral techniques. That means she listens closely, honors personal experience, and also teaches skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She can introduce other evidence-based methods as needed to match what each person wants to work on.
Therapy is collaborative and paced to fit the individual. Andrea helps set clear, practical goals and checks in often to adjust the plan. Progress may involve learning coping skills, shifting patterns in relationships, or reducing symptoms that interfere with everyday life.
She previously spent many years in a recovery center role, supporting women and their families through substance-related challenges. Andrea brings that experience into general clinical work, offering steady, compassionate guidance for people facing loss, transition, or ongoing mental health struggles.
How Andrea uses practical approaches online
Andrea draws on person-centered and cognitive-behavioral approaches to help people make meaningful changes. Person-centered work focuses on listening, empathy, and valuing each person’s lived experience; it helps people feel understood and build motivation for change. Cognitive-behavioral techniques teach concrete skills to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and support mood management. Andrea can also add other evidence-based methods when they suit a person’s goals.Choosing the right approach happens together. Andrea works collaboratively to match methods to the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. She checks progress regularly and adapts the plan so therapy stays useful and relevant.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation when that’s helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit during a work break or when video isn’t possible. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options help people access consistent care around busy schedules and varied daily demands.
