Andrea Coulter , LCPC, LCMHC

Andrea Coulter is a licensed clinician practicing with credentials as an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) and an LCMHC (Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor), and she brings 12 years of clinical experience to her work. She prioritizes a warm, compassionate stance while also offering straightforward challenge when it can help a person grow. Her style is collaborative - she meets people where they are and partners with them to build practical plans and skills that support meaningful change.

Andrea's clinical work has included support for trauma and abuse, personality and mood disorders, LGBTQ related concerns, addictions, anxiety, grief, relationship and family difficulties, intimacy-related challenges, bipolar disorder, and depression. She has additional focus on issues such as abandonment and attachment struggles, caregiver stress, codependency, dissociation, substance use concerns, family of origin problems, and first responder stress. Her approach is rooted in psychodynamic theory while drawing on Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques to help people develop self-awareness, emotional regulation, and practical coping tools.

She has experience working with international clients and has provided care through a range of remote communication methods. Andrea values the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for progress and supports each person with respect, clarity, and a focus on the goals they identify.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care Options

Andrea uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and learn practical ways to act in service of what matters most. ACT combines mindfulness skills with behavior change strategies and is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and difficulties with motivation or meaning. Attachment-Based Therapy is another focus - it explores how early relationships shape expectations and patterns in adult relationships and can be valuable for issues like abandonment, intimacy struggles, and family of origin concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques are also woven into her work to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills for people facing strong emotions or relationship conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Andrea collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy feels relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect - through video sessions, phone calls, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit counseling into busy lives or to work across distances. These options support consistent access to licensed professionals and allow therapy to continue even when in-person meetings are difficult, while still focusing on skill building, emotional insight, and problem solving.
