She meets people where they are and works collaboratively to set goals and make a plan. Building a strong working relationship is central to her approach. That means regular check-ins about progress and adjustments when needed.
Andrea sees people for concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related struggles, and issues related to LGBT identity.

Her clinical work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based approaches, Client-Centered methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. In sessions she uses practical exercises, mindfulness skills, and straightforward conversation to build coping skills and insight.
People who prefer a therapist who is compassionate but willing to push for growth may find her style helpful. She welcomes conversations about what a useful plan would look like and how therapy can fit into everyday life.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Andrea commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections, which can be useful for codependency, abandonment issues, and intimacy-related struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Andrea works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods match their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. This means clients and therapist decide together what to try first and how to measure small wins.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people keep therapy consistent while managing work, caregiving, or travel. Licensed professionals, including therapists who use ACT and attachment work, can adapt exercises and skills to an online setting so progress continues between sessions.
