She also uses motivational interviewing when someone needs help finding the next steps toward change.

How Andrea’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to make sense of feelings and set personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to change patterns that cause distress; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Andrea will talk with each person about their needs and preferences and suggest methods that fit those goals. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as progress is made.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also work well for practicing skills between appointments and for keeping continuity of care when schedules change.
