About Andrea
Andrea Mckee is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oregon with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, family conflict, trauma and life transitions. Andrea also lists young adult issues among her focus areas and supports people navigating early adult pressures.
Andrea uses practical, evidence-based methods in sessions. She aims to help people understand patterns that keep them stuck and develop clearer ways to cope. Typical sessions include talking through recent problems, trying new skills in the moment, and setting small, realistic goals between meetings.
Her experience spans a range of difficulties that often overlap, like panic attacks, social anxiety, mood disorders, and symptoms following trauma. She also notes additional focus areas including adoption and foster care, communication problems, and isolation or loneliness. This background shapes how she approaches problems that affect daily life and relationships.
Sessions are offered in English and reflect her 12 years in mental health work. Andrea maintains a straightforward style and emphasizes practical steps that fit into busy lives. She avoids clinical jargon and prefers clear conversation about what is happening now and what can help next.
For people in their late teens and twenties, she recognises pressures such as moving out, new jobs, and feeling behind peers. She will work with each client to set priorities and choose manageable steps. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Andrea brings evidence-based methods online
Andrea describes her work as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach she commonly uses involves identifying unhelpful thinking and testing more balanced thoughts; this helps with anxiety, low mood, and social worries by changing how problems are interpreted. Another approach focuses on building coping skills and small behavioral changes to reduce panic, manage stress, and improve day-to-day functioning. Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Andrea will collaborate with each client to choose which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means checking in together about what helps, trying different techniques when needed, and adjusting the plan as progress is made. Check the current session options before booking to confirm how she is meeting with clients online. Practical benefits of online sessions often include easier scheduling around work or classes, fewer travel needs, and the ability to keep shorter check-ins when time is limited. Phone sessions can be helpful when video would use more bandwidth or when a shorter, simpler check-in is preferred. These practical choices make it easier to fit therapy into a busy young adult life while working through stress, transitions, and other concerns.Areas of expertise
