Andrea Roland , LPCC

Andrea Roland is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Minnesota with 12 years of experience in the mental health field. She has spent more than a decade working as a therapist and counselor at a recovery center serving women and their families, and has worked with clients of all ages on concerns such as depression, anxiety, substance use, family dynamics, grief and loss, life transitions, and trauma.

Andrea emphasizes creating therapeutic relationships that leave clients feeling connected, supported, validated, and empowered. Clients have described her style as warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental. She aims to meet people where they are and to honor each person’s lived experience while helping them build skills and insight to move forward.

Her clinical work blends person-centered and humanistic perspectives with cognitive-behavioral techniques, and she draws on other evidence-based practices when appropriate. Treatment plans and conversations are tailored to each person’s unique needs and goals, with a focus on practical strategies and collaborative decision making. Andrea brings a respectful, strengths-based approach to helping people navigate change, cope with difficult emotions, and address challenges related to relationships, addiction, and daily functioning.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Recovery and Healing

Andrea draws from person-centered therapy, which focuses on building a trusting, empathic relationship and helping clients access their own strengths and solutions. This approach is helpful for people seeking acceptance, validation, and a collaborative space to explore life challenges.

She also integrates cognitive-behavioral techniques, which involve identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and developing practical strategies to change them. CBT can be effective for addressing anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that maintain substance use or relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Andrea works collaboratively with each person to determine which techniques and goals feel most useful based on their needs, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit care into a busy life. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling and communication style, allowing clients to engage with licensed professionals in ways that suit their routine and comfort while accessing consistent support and practical tools for change.
