About Andrea
She earned a Master of Science degree from Nova Southeastern University and has worked extensively with people facing anger, behavioral concerns, substance dependency, mood difficulties, and parenting challenges. Over many years Andrea has used Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Functional Family Therapy in her work to address patterns that keep people stuck.
Andrea emphasizes straightforward collaboration. She and a client map out specific goals, try manageable changes, and track what helps. Sessions tend to focus on communication skills, problem solving, and ways to reduce reactive behaviors so relationships can improve.
Her background includes training other clinicians in family-based methods and co-authoring work on Functional Family Therapy for adolescent behavior problems. That experience informs a practical orientation to treatment and a focus on repairing bonds and rebuilding trust where it has frayed.
People often come to Andrea for help with intimacy concerns, jealousy, attachment issues, blended family adjustment, grief, or addiction recovery. She works to tailor each plan to the person in front of her and to the goals they want to reach.
How Andrea’s approaches translate to online care
Andrea commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and trying new ways of responding to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change relationship interactions. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their own reasons for change and build motivation when facing addictions, ambivalence, or difficult life changes.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Andrea works with each person to set goals and then tests methods to see what fits best. She reviews progress together and adapts plans so the therapy matches the client's needs and preferences.
Many people find online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, since sessions can be scheduled around work, school, and parenting. Because session formats are not specified here, confirm the current online options before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make short check-ins, skill practice, and communication coaching easier to maintain between in-person commitments.
