Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Andrea draws on evidence-informed approaches to support clients in an online setting. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify personal values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which often helps with mood disorders, panic, and stress management. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and the client's own capacity for growth, offering a foundation for work on self-esteem, identity, and relationship concerns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Andrea collaborates with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and then tailors techniques that fit the individual. This collaborative stance helps ensure the work feels relevant and practical.
Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging allow therapy to fit around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities and can make it easier to maintain continuity of care. These options expand access to regular sessions and make it simpler to try different formats until the best fit is found.
