How Andrea’s approaches translate to online care
Andrea uses client-centered methods that focus on your goals and strengths. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, helps you name concrete objectives, and adjusts the work to what you say is important. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is also part of her toolbox and looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood; sessions often include simple exercises and small behavioral experiments to try between meetings. Mindfulness therapy teaches basic awareness and grounding skills to reduce overwhelming feelings and improve focus during stressful moments.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that suit their needs, goals, and comfort level, and will adapt techniques over time based on what helps most. This is a team process that aims to be practical and goal-oriented.
