She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and LGBT-related issues.

Andrea uses several therapy methods to help people develop practical skills and insight.

She also uses attachment-based ideas and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy to support emotional regulation and relationship work.
Her style balances listening with direct feedback. Sessions focus on concrete tools, checking how techniques are working, and adjusting the plan together. Andrea pays attention to relationship patterns that influence current problems, including family of origin and attachment themes.
People seeking help for complex issues such as addiction, dissociation, codependency, caregiver stress, or first responder stress will find experience relevant to those concerns. She has worked with people managing divorce and separation, domestic violence, and commitment or abandonment wounds.

How Andrea's therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. ACT focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward a life they care about, which can help with anxiety, depression, and feeling adrift after big life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It breaks problems down into manageable steps and teaches concrete skills for changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, useful for stress, mood disorders, and anxiety.
Finding the right method is part of the work. Andrea treats choosing approaches as a collaborative process. She will discuss which methods seem to fit your goals and try practical techniques to see what helps most, then adjust based on feedback and progress.
Session logistics should fit daily life. The biography does not specify which formats are offered, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online meetings can make it easier to schedule around classes, shifts, or study, and they let people use therapeutic tools between sessions. Therapists can adapt ACT and CBT exercises for remote sessions, including short skills practice, homework, and tracking progress to fit a young adult's routine.
