About Andrea
Andrea Baker is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 23 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, career concerns, depression, coping with life changes, relationships, family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, parenting, anger, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
Andrea began her career working with children in therapeutic foster care, teaching positive life and parenting skills. For the past two decades she has worked in hospital settings supporting people during acute medical crises. That work shaped how she helps clients manage symptoms and make practical plans.
In sessions she teaches manageable coping strategies and practical communication skills. She helps people build confidence and set achievable career or life goals. She also supports people processing grief, loss, and major life transitions.
Andrea has a particular focus on women in the perinatal period who are adjusting to life as a new mother or experiencing postpartum depression. She also has experience offering counseling for those navigating serious medical issues and caregiver stress.
Her style centers on listening to each person’s story and working together to find clear next steps. She uses several approaches to match what someone needs in the moment and over time. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session to see if the fit feels right.
How Andrea’s approaches translate to online work
Andrea uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy as core tools. Client-centered work focuses on listening, reflecting what matters, and helping people decide the next steps for themselves. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, moods, and actions and teaches practical skills for anxiety, depression, and stress.She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to help clients clarify goals and build small actionable plans. These methods are useful when someone wants to change habits, make career moves, or manage motivation during life transitions. The therapist will discuss options and work collaboratively to choose the best fit for the person’s needs and preferences.
