Background and approach
Andrea uses approaches that help people notice what matters and take steps toward it. Her background includes work with first responders and veterans, and she addresses multicultural concerns and the effects of prejudice and discrimination. She also supports people coping with grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue.
Andrea works with issues related to ADHD and seasonal affective disorder as well. Therapeutic methods include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness techniques. These methods are used to build coping skills, reduce unhelpful thoughts, and increase flexibility in difficult situations.
Andrea practices in Texas and conducts sessions in English. She encourages people to take small, steady steps toward goals and to shape therapy around what actually helps in daily life.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Andrea uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters and take action toward those values despite tough thoughts or feelings. ACT focuses on building a meaningful life rather than eliminating every uncomfortable feeling.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies to change behaviors and moods. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep concerns because it targets the thinking-feeling-behavior cycle.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Andrea will work together with clients to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls suit more in-depth work and face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to get consistent care around busy schedules and life demands.
