About Andrea
Andrea LeBeau is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) practicing in Kansas with seven years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, parenting pressures, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, anger, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Andrea also focuses on family-related topics such as adoption and foster care, attachment and blended family issues, and caregiver stress.
She trained at the University of Kansas and has spent much of her career in the child welfare field. That work involved family-based and individual therapy aimed at keeping families together. Andrea has also provided crisis counseling with the National Suicide Hotline and supervises therapists serving the foster care system.
Andrea’s style centers on the client. She listens first, then offers straightforward feedback. Sessions combine client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative approaches as needed. She values direct communication and gives positive, concrete feedback.
In practical terms, sessions focus on clear goals such as managing anxiety, improving communication, processing loss, or addressing parenting stress. She draws on strategies you can practice between meetings, like thought records, brief mindfulness exercises, and steps to change unhelpful patterns.
People often choose Andrea when they want practical tools and a direct, respectful clinician who understands family systems and foster care concerns. To begin, readers should check the service’s matching and scheduling process to arrange an initial appointment.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Client-centered work focuses on what matters most to the client and involves listening, reflecting, and helping people set their own goals. It can help with decisions, relationship problems, and building self-understanding.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses short exercises and strategies such as thought records and behavior experiments to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase focus. These techniques can be useful for stress, anger, and coping with difficult emotions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She often blends approaches and adjusts them over time based on what helps most.
