Andrea Douglas , LPC

Andrea Douglas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Alabama. She brings 13 years of counseling experience and focuses on common life stresses like anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and parenting concerns. Andrea aims to help people regain focus, set practical goals, and begin again when life feels overwhelming.

She uses a conversational, person-focused style in sessions. Clients can expect clear, practical steps and space to talk through emotions. Andrea adapts her approach to each person instead of using a single method for everyone.

Her work often addresses relationship and family concerns, including communication problems, blended family issues, divorce and separation, and infidelity. She also helps people with body image, self-esteem, career stress, and feelings of isolation or emptiness.

Andrea draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop new coping skills. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and the Gottman Method for practical relationship skills. Client-Centered Therapy guides the way she listens and responds in sessions.

People seek her support for anger, compassion fatigue, abandonment issues, commitment worries, and finding life purpose. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Andrea combines practical tools with attentive listening to help people move forward.

How Andrea blends approaches for online counseling

Andrea relies on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to guide online work. CBT helps identify patterns of thinking that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress, then builds practical skills to change those patterns. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and responding to each person's experience, which helps people feel heard while they work through feelings and decisions.

She also draws on the Gottman Method when relationship skills are a focus, offering communication techniques and problem-solving strategies that couples and individuals can practice between sessions. Andrea works collaboratively to decide which approach fits best based on goals, life circumstances, and personal preference. That means the first sessions often include some goal-setting and a short plan to test what helps.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for deeper conversations and role-playing communication skills. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setting is needed. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, progress updates, or coaching-style guidance between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work from different locations.
