Andra Blackheart

Andra Blackheart is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Florida with five years of practice. She focuses on helping people regain a sense of who they are after major life changes or traumatic experiences. Her work often centers on rebuilding connection to self and others when relationships, identity, or daily life feel disrupted.

She approaches sessions in a straightforward, collaborative way. Andra uses practical tools to address anxiety, stress, depression, self-esteem, and issues around intimacy and attachment. She also supports people navigating ADHD, neurodivergence, and concerns tied to sexuality and kink culture. Conversations tend to focus on what a person wants and on small steps toward those goals.

Her background includes focused work with people adjusting after trauma, life transitions, and relationship shifts. She combines client-centered listening with goal-focused techniques to help people try new behaviors and notice what works. Motivational interviewing is used to clarify values and strengthen commitment to change.

She offers evaluations and assessments related to Autism and complex PTSD according to her stated practice, and also provides coaching and support for practical accommodations and social connection. Andra aims to help people use their existing strengths and supports more effectively.

If someone feels stuck after a breakup, a diagnosis, a career pivot, or a midlife change, she invites them to explore steps forward. The first contact begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the site.

How Andra blends approaches for online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and tailoring the work to what the person already values and needs. It helps when someone wants a therapist who follows their lead and helps them find their own choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying helpful and unhelpful thoughts and then testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or depressive patterns. It tends to help with stress, mood problems, and worry. Motivational Interviewing helps people resolve mixed feelings about change by clarifying goals and strengthening motivation; it is useful when someone wants support committing to a new direction.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options together and choose methods based on a person’s goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. This is a collaborative process that can shift as progress is made.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since specific online options are not listed in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when a quick session helps, and reduce time spent traveling. It also lets the therapist use tools like thought records, behavioral experiments, and values exercises during sessions so people can practice changes between meetings.
