About Andrea
Andrea has 13 years of counseling experience and practices in Alabama. She draws on several practical methods to shape sessions around each person's needs. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals, small steps, and skills people can try between meetings.
Her style is down-to-earth and goal-oriented. She listens for what matters most to each person and helps them set manageable plans. Topics often include communication problems, blended family challenges, feelings of emptiness, and forgiveness work.
Andrea also supports people dealing with anger, compassion fatigue, abandonment concerns, body image, and issues like infidelity or separation. She uses techniques that help reframe thinking, build healthier routines, and strengthen day-to-day coping.
Clients who prefer a practical, collaborative approach will find sessions that mix problem solving with personal reflection. Andrea encourages trying new strategies, checking what works, and adjusting plans as needed.
How Andrea’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. Sessions emphasize empathy, respect, and helping the client find their own direction, which is useful for relationship strain and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress.
The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which approach fits best. Together they set goals, try methods in real life, and adjust plans based on what helps. Finding the right fit is part of the process and can change as needs evolve.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also support continuity of care across locations for international clients. Discuss format preferences during the intake so sessions match scheduling and practical needs.
