Andrea Mitchell

Andrea Mitchell is an LPC with 16 years of experience helping adults untangle stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction. She centers conversations on how a person’s beliefs about themselves shape everyday choices. Her approach is collaborative and practical, with a calm, conversational style that focuses on real change. Andrea creates a space where clients can look at their story and try small shifts that add up. She helps people strengthen their sense of self so they can name needs and ask for what they want. That often means learning new ways to talk about feelings, set boundaries, and cope after loss or big life changes such as divorce and separation. Her background includes work with trauma and the long effects of difficult early experiences. Andrea draws on evidence-informed methods to address mood disorders, addiction, relationship struggles, grief, and self-esteem concerns. She often combines attention to thoughts and behaviors with skills for managing intense emotion. Sessions tend to be interactive and tailored to the person in front of her. Andrea uses practical tools and exercises that clients can try between meetings. She describes the process as helping people move from surviving to thriving by building steady habits and clearer communication. People who choose her often want straightforward guidance, emotional validation, and tools they can use right away. Andrea encourages small, consistent steps and stays focused on goals the client sets. She also accepts international clients and sees people across many life situations.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting ruled by them, and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect, and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with mood disorders, anxiety, and addictive behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s own experience, offering empathic listening and support while the client finds their own path forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That means trying things, checking in, and adjusting the plan together rather than committing to a single path up front.

The source profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing sessions during breaks or evenings. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or let someone choose a quieter setting for focused conversation. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets, and skills training to an online setting so clients can practice between sessions and track progress over time.
