Andrea Villescas

Andrea Villescas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with eleven years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are managing stress, anxiety, anger, grief, addictions, and changes in life. She aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space so clients can talk about hard feelings and make practical changes.

Andrea uses straightforward, skills-based approaches to help people notice what matters and take small, realistic steps forward. Sessions often include tools to handle strong emotions, improve sleep, and rebuild self-esteem. She also helps with work-related stress, compassion fatigue, and issues tied to culture or identity.

Her background includes work with first responders and veterans, and she brings attention to how prejudice and discrimination can affect mental health. Andrea draws on therapies that focus on thoughts, behavior, acceptance, and present-moment awareness to create a tailored plan for each person. She aims to match strategies to the person’s goals rather than follow one single method.

People who choose Andrea can expect a mix of practical exercises and thoughtful conversation. She emphasizes clear steps between sessions so progress feels measurable. If someone wants help with parenting challenges, career decisions, or managing ADHD symptoms, she offers steady support and problem-solving tools.

To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules sessions according to availability. Andrea works in English and practices in Texas.

Approaches that fit real life and online care

Andrea commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). ACT focuses on clarifying values and learning to act toward them even when thoughts and feelings are difficult. It can help with anger, grief, and life transitions. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She may mix approaches to build a plan that fits the situation rather than using a single method alone.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options when booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when days are tight, and reduce travel time so people can get care between work or family tasks. Licensed professionals can use these options to provide regular, focused support that connects therapy work to everyday life.
