About Andrea
Her style is warm and compassionate while also challenging when needed. She meets people where they are and uses straightforward conversation to identify what matters most. The work often focuses on building practical skills, noticing patterns that get in the way, and testing small changes between sessions.
Andrea uses a mix of therapeutic approaches to match a person’s needs. She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. These methods inform how she helps people address grief, trauma, self‑esteem, and coping with major life changes.
People come to her for a range of concerns including LGBT-related issues, bipolar disorder, family problems, addiction, abandonment and attachment issues, and first responder stress. She also supports those facing divorce, domestic violence, dissociation, and caregiver strain. Andrea describes the process as collaborative, practical, and focused on leaving sessions with usable steps.

How these approaches guide online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections and intimacy. It can help with abandonment or attachment issues and relationship concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals and day-to-day life. That choice is reevaluated as therapy progresses so techniques can be adjusted as needed.
Confirm current session formats before booking because the biography did not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited. It also lets people use approaches like ACT and attachment-focused work in ways that suit their routine and comfort. Licensed professionals can adapt skills practice and homework to whatever format you choose, working with you to make therapy practical and relevant.
