How Andrea’s approaches work online
Client-centered therapy means the therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client. Sessions focus on the client’s concerns and pace, and the therapist reflects and clarifies to help people find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical exercises to reduce anxiety, low mood, or unhelpful reactions. Solution-focused therapy emphasizes small, concrete steps and short-term goals to create momentum and visible change. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Andrea will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She adapts methods as progress unfolds so the plan fits the client’s needs and day-to-day life. Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls are useful for a full conversation with visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can work for brief check-ins, quick problem-solving, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around parenting, work, and other responsibilities.Questions people ask about Andrea
