How Andrea's Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Andrea blends client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and trauma-focused methods to tailor care to each person’s needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy, respect, and meeting clients where they are - it helps people explore values, build self-understanding, and find their own direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns with practical tools and exercises, and is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood concerns. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the specific impacts of traumatic experiences through structured strategies that support symptom reduction and improved coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Andrea works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved in their care and supported in trying new strategies.

Online therapy with Andrea is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options make it easier to access regular support around work, family, and daily life, allowing clients to continue consistent therapeutic work without frequent travel.
