Andrea Levitan , LPC

Andrea Levitan is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing relationship strain, parenting stress, depression, anxiety, grief, and concerns about intimacy and self-esteem. She works with people on career stress and common family problems, including communication and attachment issues.

Her approach is practical and straightforward. She uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try small changes. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Imago Relationship Therapy when emotional connection and communication are central concerns.

Andrea aims to make therapy collaborative and goal-focused. Sessions often include talking through specific problems, practicing new ways to respond, and building skills to manage strong emotions. She also integrates motivational interviewing when people need help finding the drive to make changes.

She earned a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology from Avila University and holds LPC credentials in Kansas and Missouri. Andrea also completed a personal trainer certification to better connect exercise and mental health for clients who want that support.

Clients can expect an attentive listener who works to uncover their strengths and create an individualized plan. Her style blends practical skill-building with attention to emotions, so people leave sessions with concrete strategies they can use between meetings.

Approaches for online relationship and emotional work

Andrea uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and depression. CBT is practical and problem-focused, useful for stress, mood, and daily routines.

She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help partners and individuals identify and name emotional needs and patterns that affect connection. EFT focuses on building emotional awareness and safer ways to respond in close relationships.

Finding the best approach is a shared process. Andrea will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to emphasize CBT tools, emotional work from EFT, mindfulness practices, or a blend of methods.

Online therapy here is offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and working through interactions, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy lives.
