How Andrea’s Approaches Translate Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s goals first. It helps people feel heard and shapes treatment around their priorities rather than a fixed plan.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, teaches practical ways to notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with life changes.

Mindfulness therapy adds simple attention and breathing practices to help reduce reactivity and increase calm in daily moments. It pairs well with CBT when stress or strong emotions get in the way of making changes.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Andrea will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they’ll try strategies, check what helps, and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Licensed professionals can adapt these methods to online settings so you can practice skills in your everyday life.
