Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Andrea integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness therapy into her online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, allowing clients to set the pace and focus of sessions while the therapist provides support and nonjudgmental reflection. Cognitive behavioral therapy aims to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Mindfulness therapy teaches skills for grounding attention in the present moment and cultivating awareness, often benefiting those coping with anxiety, emotional reactivity, or chronic stress.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Andrea works with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques as the work evolves to ensure a personalized plan that feels right for each person.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to match a client’s life and comfort. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and fit therapy into busy routines.
