About Andrea
Andrea Levitan is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people navigate relationship struggles, codependency, parenting challenges, and issues like anxiety, depression, grief, and low self-esteem. She speaks plainly and encourages a steady commitment to learning about emotions and changing unhelpful patterns. Her approach invites people to take small steps that build toward lasting changes in daily life.
Andrea uses a variety of methods to meet different needs, including cognitive behavioral tools to shift unhelpful thoughts and emotionally-focused work to strengthen closeness. She also draws on Imago Relationship Therapy ideas and mindfulness practices to reduce reactive cycles and increase self-awareness. Motivational interviewing helps when someone needs clarity about goals and wants to move forward at their own pace.
Her style is direct but warm. She listens closely and helps people uncover strengths that are already present. Andrea offers practical coping skills and creative strategies tailored to each person rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Andrea earned a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Avila University and holds LPC credentials in Missouri and Kansas. She has worked in counseling settings for 18 years and blends mental health work with a focus on lifestyle factors like exercise.
People often come for help with communication problems, commitment concerns, body image, family of origin issues, and the emotional fallout of separation. Andrea encourages clients to start with small, achievable steps and builds from there.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Andrea frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and lift mood by giving concrete tools for everyday situations. She also draws on emotionally-focused therapy to help people understand and shift negative interaction patterns in close relationships, which can improve communication and increase emotional connection.Finding the right approach is a team effort. She will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they choose methods that fit the person’s needs and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, or allow a quieter check-in during a break. It can also let people try a few different approaches without changing their daily routines, so therapeutic work can be easier to sustain.
