Andrea LeBeau, LSCSW

Andrea LeBeau is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) based in Kansas who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, grief, parenting strains, relationship concerns, and jealousy. She often supports those facing trauma, depression, eating and anger issues, and compassion fatigue. Andrea aims to build a respectful, straightforward relationship where people feel heard and get practical help.

She earned her social work degree from the University of Kansas in 2017 and has seven years of therapy experience. Much of her work has been in child welfare, offering family-based and individual therapy with a focus on keeping families together. Andrea has also worked with the National Suicide Hotline, using crisis counseling skills in urgent situations.

Andrea’s approach centers on the person in front of her. She is empathetic and direct, and she offers positive feedback along the way. She draws from several methods to match each person’s needs rather than relying on a single technique.

In sessions she blends client-centered listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness practices. She also uses narrative techniques and motivational interviewing to help people reframe difficult stories and find motivation for change.

Andrea supervises other therapists serving families involved with foster care, and she continues to work with individuals on attachment, abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, and family of origin issues. She encourages a collaborative process to identify goals and take steps toward them.

How Andrea’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship. It helps people feel understood and guide the pace of conversation toward their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, anger, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Andrea will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She may combine client-centered listening with CBT tools, mindfulness exercises, narrative techniques, or motivational interviewing depending on what is most helpful.

The original biography does not specify which session formats are offered here, so please confirm available online options before booking. Many people find online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by cutting commute time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or letting someone choose whether they want to be on camera. Licensed professionals can adapt interventions like mindfulness practice and CBT worksheets to work well in remote sessions, and Andrea aims to help clients use those tools in ways that suit their daily routines.
