Therapeutic approaches and online care with Andrea Schmidt

Andrea integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person’s perspective and building a supportive therapeutic relationship that helps clients explore their own solutions. CBT addresses the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and is often used to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood disorders by teaching practical coping skills. DBT offers tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, making it useful for clients struggling with intense emotions or relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Andrea works collaboratively with clients to identify the methods that best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques and pacing so that treatment feels productive and respectful of each person’s situation.

Online therapy with Andrea can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or work, and choose the format that fits daily life while progressing toward therapeutic goals.
