Andrea Coulter , LCPC, LCMHC

Andrea Coulter is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with twelve years of experience. She practices from Vermont and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and issues tied to intimacy and relationships. Andrea also works with people facing trauma, LGBT-related concerns, bipolar mood patterns, and major life changes.

Her style is warm and compassionate while also being direct when a gentle push is needed. She meets people where they are and works together with them to set clear, achievable goals. The aim is to build practical skills that fit into daily life, not just ideas on a page.

Andrea draws on a mix of approaches when planning care. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is often used to notice and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. She also brings attachment-based ideas to work on relationship patterns and emotional safety.

Sessions include talking, practicing new skills, and reviewing what changed between meetings. Andrea pays attention to the working relationship and invites open feedback so plans can be adjusted. She also supports people coping with addiction, codependency, caregiver stress, and family of origin issues.

People can expect straightforward conversation, skill-building exercises, and a focus on real-world changes. Andrea accepts international clients and offers sessions through several online formats to fit different needs and schedules.

How Andrea's approaches translate to online therapy

Andrea frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people identify personal values and take small, actionable steps toward them. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, which can help with anxiety, depression, and major life transitions.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses. This work helps people improve how they relate to partners, family, and close others by recognizing repeating patterns and practicing new responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Andrea works collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, needs, and preferences, and she adjusts plans as progress or challenges arise. The aim is to create a treatment path that feels useful and doable.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick reflections, between-session support, or when someone prefers writing over speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into varied schedules and locations.
