About Andrea
Andrea uses practical, evidence-informed methods in sessions. She works with people on communication problems, parenting challenges, anger, addictions, mood concerns, and attachment struggles. Conversations are straightforward and aim to help clients make clear changes they can use every day.
Her background includes a Master of Science degree from Nova Southeastern University and many years teaching and training other clinicians in family-focused work. That experience informs how she helps people identify patterns that affect their closest relationships and develop new ways of connecting.
Andrea draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques and motivational strategies to set small, achievable goals. She also uses solution-focused ideas to help people notice what works and build on it. The focus is on practical steps and measurable progress rather than theory alone.
Clients can expect collaborative planning in sessions. Andrea helps people map out goals, try different approaches, and adjust plans based on what fits their life. Her aim is steady, understandable progress toward better coping, clearer communication, and more stable relationships.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Andrea commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors; CBT often focuses on small experiments and clear skill practice that work well in remote sessions. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to clarify what matters to someone and build motivation for change through guided conversation. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying existing strengths and small steps that lead toward practical improvements.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what feels doable. Together they adjust methods and try different techniques until one fits the client's needs and daily life.
Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also allows a therapist to guide concrete skill practice, track homework, and check progress between appointments so sessions focus on what matters most.
