About Andrea
Andrea Bragdon is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with seven years of clinical experience. She practices in Florida and works with relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and life transitions. Andrea also lists focus areas such as career challenges, parenting concerns, mood disorders, and LGBT issues.
Andrea described her style as supportive and approachable, and she often uses humor to ease difficult conversations. She mixes practical talk therapy with coaching techniques. Sessions commonly include mindfulness, solution-focused work, and acceptance-based strategies to help people manage stress and make concrete changes.
She has substantial experience with people who have experienced emotional, sexual, or physical trauma and with family-of-origin problems. Andrea also helps with intimacy-related matters, non-monogamous relationship dynamics, and sexual subcultures including BDSM and kink when clients bring those topics forward. She notes work with chronic illness and body image concerns as part of her practice.
Andrea blends different methods rather than relying on a single model. She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered approaches, Motivational Interviewing, and other practical tools to create short-term goals and longer-term plans. That mix is used to address mood disorders, coping with life changes, and finding direction in careers and relationships.
Prospective clients are asked to begin by completing a short intake questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Andrea accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking concrete steps that match those values. Online sessions using ACT often include exercises to notice difficult thoughts and build small, value-driven actions between meetings. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the client leads the pace and topics; online meetings can support that same open dialogue and pacing. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which translates well to brief guided exercises during video or audio sessions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and what has worked before, then suggest ways of working together. That process is adjusted as therapy continues so methods can shift based on what helps most.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and avoid travel time for appointments. Licensed professionals can use different formats to match practical needs, and Andrea will help choose an approach and session rhythm that fits the client’s everyday life.
