About Andrea
Andrea Travers uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and depression. She holds an MD and is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland, and brings 13 years of clinical experience to her work.

She helps people see links between thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and past experiences. Sessions emphasize learning new ways to respond to old patterns.
Background and approach
The goal is steadier mood, clearer thinking, and better coping when life gets hard. Andrea has supported people facing substance use concerns and the emotional effects of trauma and abuse. She also addresses struggles with self-esteem, relationship patterns such as attachment and codependency, and life changes that feel overwhelming.
Her approach includes practical strategies for managing cravings, mood swings, and anxiety symptoms. Her work attends to specific challenges like abandonment, communication problems, control issues, and caregiver stress. She also offers help for people navigating fertility concerns, forgiveness, and feelings of emptiness.
Andrea adapts interventions to each person’s background and goals. In sessions she uses straightforward conversation and concrete exercises. Clients leave with doable tools to try between visits.
Andrea aims to create a steady process so people can make gradual, lasting changes in how they think and behave.
Evidence-based techniques for online care
Andrea draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing thought and behavior patterns and teaching practical skills. One common approach she uses helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different responses to reduce anxiety and low mood; this is useful for stress, depression, and everyday worry. Another approach emphasizes building coping skills and relapse prevention for substance use and strong emotional reactions; it includes concrete strategies to manage cravings, urges, and impulses.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Andrea collaborates with each person to match techniques to their needs, goals, and how they prefer to work. She will review options, try methods, and adjust the plan based on progress and feedback.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow flexibility for different schedules and situations. Video is good for in-depth conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can fit a shorter break or lower bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, homework review, and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into daily life.
