How Andrea’s approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead, helping people feel heard and supported while they set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors to find small, practical changes that reduce anxiety, depression, and anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping when stress feels overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will help clients choose which methods to try based on their needs, goals, and daily life. She works collaboratively, checking in about what helps and adjusting the plan over time.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. Some people prefer shorter or phone-based check-ins for quick support, while others use longer video sessions for deeper work; Andrea will discuss what fits the client’s routine and comfort level.
