Andrea LeBeau

Andrea LeBeau is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) in Kansas who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, and parenting and family concerns. She supports people coping with trauma, grief, eating or body image struggles, ADHD, and relationship or communication problems. Andrea brings a warm but direct presence to sessions and aims to build a respectful, honest working relationship.

She earned her social work degree from the University of Kansas in 2017 and has seven years of experience in therapeutic roles. Much of that time has been spent in the child welfare field, providing family-based and individual therapy with the goal of keeping families together. She has also worked with crisis services, including the National Suicide Hotline, and uses those crisis counseling skills when needed.

Andrea’s approach is client-centered and practical. She listens first, then works collaboratively to set goals and pick strategies that fit each person’s life. She uses a mix of methods based on what will help most, rather than sticking to a single technique.

In sessions she balances empathy with direct feedback and positive encouragement. She often combines elements of cognitive behavioral tools, mindfulness practices, narrative work, and motivational interviewing depending on the concern. The focus is on helping people build coping skills and make meaningful change.

People who want to start are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability. Sessions are provided in English and Andrea’s background includes both therapeutic and supervisory work with families involved in foster care.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Andrea blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that translate well to online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people name their goals, which helps shape each online conversation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to build concrete coping skills for problems like anxiety, anger, and depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and daily routine. That collaboration means plans can change over time as progress is made or new concerns arise.

Session logistics should be confirmed when booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow regular check-ins to practice new skills. It can also let someone choose shorter or more frequent sessions when that works better for a particular issue. Confirm the available session options before scheduling so expectations match what the therapist offers.
