About Andrea
Andrea Joyce is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Clinician (LMHC) with 23 years of experience. She practices in Nebraska and focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship issues, and challenges common in young adulthood. Andrea also lists work with LGBT concerns, ADHD, bipolar disorder, self-esteem, anger, and coping with life changes.
Andrea uses a straightforward, person-focused style. She helps people talk through what’s happening now and figure out practical next steps. Sessions often include looking at patterns, building coping skills, and practicing small changes that fit everyday life.
Her background includes work in agency settings, university settings, and with law enforcement. She has experience related to foster care and juvenile court in her face-to-face work. That experience informs how she approaches trauma, grief, and family-related issues.
Andrea draws on several approaches to guide sessions. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to center the person’s concerns, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift thinking and behavior patterns, and Trauma-Focused methods when past harm is part of the picture. Mindfulness and Solution-Focused techniques are also part of her toolkit.
People often come to her when they feel stuck after major changes such as leaving home, starting a job, relationship shifts, or academic pressure. Her style is direct and practical, aimed at helping clients gain clearer steps and steady progress.
How Andrea’s approaches translate to remote sessions
Andrea commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify thinking and behavior patterns that feed anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT sessions often include short exercises and homework you can use between meetings to test new ways of coping. She also draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy for people processing past harm; these methods focus on pacing, grounding skills, and gradual processing of difficult memories.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Andrea will discuss what feels most relevant, try strategies that match your goals, and adjust as you go. The plan is based on your needs, preferences, and what works in actual day-to-day life.
