Evidence-Based Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Andrea integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into her work, which focuses on helping clients clarify personal values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise; ACT can be especially helpful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life transitions. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, a practical approach that often benefits depression, anxiety, and problem-solving around daily functioning. Client-Centered Therapy is another cornerstone of her practice, emphasizing empathetic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard and empowered to set their own goals.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Andrea works collaboratively with each person to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions to individual priorities and timelines.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or mobility limitations. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access licensed professionals from different locations within the therapist's practice area, and integrate therapy into a busy life while preserving consistency and therapeutic progress.
