Background and approach
She also helps with intimacy-related issues, LGBTQ concerns, parenting stress, and non-traditional relationship styles such as polyamory and kink-related matters. Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered methods, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques. Sessions often mix short-term goal work with longer conversations about values, boundaries, and coping skills.
Andrea adapts her style to what each person needs in the moment. Andrea holds licensure in Florida as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and also lists LCPC credentials from Maine. She offers services to people in Florida and accepts international clients who can work in English.
Session formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Getting started involves a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling through the platform. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How mindful and values-based methods work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Online ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and making life changes by focusing on what matters and small steps toward it. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and respect so people feel heard and understood; it suits those who need a steady, supportive space to talk through difficult issues. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and build steadier coping skills for stress and trauma.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps. This means sessions can include short skills practice, focused problem-solving, or open conversation depending on individual needs.
Online formats offer practical benefits for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper discussion and exercises. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to do brief check-ins, share progress, and maintain momentum between longer sessions. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into real life while using the therapist's approaches to guide change.
