About Andrea
Andrea LeBeau is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) based in Kansas with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. Andrea combines empathy with straightforward feedback to help people tackle difficult moments and muddled feelings.
She trained in social work at the University of Kansas and has spent much of her career in the child welfare field. That work involved offering both individual and family-based therapy aimed at keeping families together and addressing safety and relationship challenges.
Background and approach
She has also supported callers at the National Suicide Hotline, applying crisis counseling skills when they were needed. Andrea’s style centers on the person in front of her. She listens first, then works collaboratively to set goals.
She tends to be warm and energetic while also being direct and transparent about progress and next steps. Practical tools and positive feedback are common in her sessions. Her approach draws on several evidence-based methods, including client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative work.
She tailors interventions to what each individual needs and prefers, rather than using a single method for everyone. Sessions on this platform include messaging and other online formats that fit different schedules. Andrea aims to build a strong working relationship quickly so people can begin making small, concrete changes that matter to their daily life.

How Andrea’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy starts by treating the person as the expert on their life. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what she hears, and helps people set goals that feel useful and realistic. This approach helps when someone needs a safe place to untangle feelings and decide what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Andrea uses practical CBT exercises to spot unhelpful patterns and try small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety, improve mood, or shift responses to stress. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to calm the mind and reduce reactivity, which can be useful for parenting stress, anger, or overwhelm.
Deciding which approach to use is a team effort. Andrea works with each person to choose strategies that match their goals, preferences, and everyday life. She revisits the plan as progress is made and adjusts techniques when needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, childcare, or other routines. Phone or chat can be quicker check-ins, while video sessions allow more face-to-face interaction. Messaging and text-based sessions let people share notes or updates between meetings, supporting steady progress over time.
