Andrea has worked with people coping with post-traumatic stress and family-of-origin wounds. She also addresses chronic illness, body image, codependency, and isolation. Her background includes life coaching and energy healing experience that inform a flexible, person-driven approach.

If someone is ready to explore change, Andrea invites them to take the first step. She guides goal-setting, practical coping skills, and ongoing reflection to support growth and clearer choices.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Andrea commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people identify values and take workable steps toward them, even when strong feelings get in the way. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen deeply and reflect what matters most to each person, making space for their own pace and priorities. Mindfulness Therapy is used to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and support clearer choices.

Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to pick techniques that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. Together they set small goals, try practical strategies, and adjust the plan as needed.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, since specific options are not detailed in the profile. Online work can help fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins during the day, and make it easier to connect from different locations. It also lets people bring exercises like mindfulness or values work directly into their everyday routines, so skills can be practiced between sessions.
