Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Andrea uses evidence-based approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients clarify values, build practical skills, and shift patterns that contribute to stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to identify what matters most and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise - it is often useful for navigating life transitions, grief, and persistent worry. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering concrete strategies for anxiety, low mood, and relationship challenges. Motivational Interviewing supports clients who feel stuck or ambivalent about change by exploring personal motivations and strengthening commitment to goals.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Andrea collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She works with clients to adapt techniques over time so the work remains practical and relevant.
Andrea offers online options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make scheduling easier around work, family, and everyday demands. These formats provide flexibility and allow licensed professionals like Andrea to meet clients where they are, supporting consistent progress even when life is busy or circumstances change.
