About Andrea
Andrea Douglas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Alabama with 13 years of counseling experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem, parenting strain, anger, career questions, depression, and life changes. Andrea also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue and coaching-type goals.
Andrea uses a mix of approaches rather than one strict method. She commonly draws from Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, along with Solution-Focused Therapy and elements of the Gottman Method when relationship issues are involved. Sessions focus on practical steps to refocus, set goals, and try different ways of responding to problems.
She describes therapy as adaptable rather than one-size-fits-all. Andrea works with each person to choose approaches that match their needs and preferences. That means some sessions emphasize skills and behavior changes, while others focus on exploring personal values and relationship patterns.
Clients should expect straightforward work on things like communication, coping strategies for mood and anxiety, navigating separation or blended family concerns, and clarifying life purpose or career direction. She also addresses issues such as body image, abandonment, infidelity, and loneliness.
Andrea’s practice draws on over a decade of experience helping adults make practical changes, reset priorities, and begin again when plans shift or relationships change. The focus is on usable tools and clear next steps rather than abstract theory.
How Andrea’s approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can find their own solutions; it helps when someone needs space to clarify values and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete exercises to reduce anxiety and low mood. The Gottman Method addresses relationship patterns and practical communication skills for couples and partners. Choosing which approaches to use is collaborative. Andrea will discuss goals and preferences, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most. The process is about finding useful techniques and steady steps rather than committing to a single way of working from the start. Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can support focused CBT exercises, communication practice for relationships, and reflective Client-Centered conversations while fitting into study, work, or other routines.Areas of expertise
