Andrea Moore , LCSW

Andrea Moore is a licensed clinical social worker with 23 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and relationship challenges. She practices in Illinois and speaks English. Andrea approaches care with respect, sensitivity, and compassion and aims to meet each person's needs where they are.

Andrea focuses on practical, down-to-earth conversations. She helps people talk through relationship and intimacy concerns, family problems, and issues tied to attachment. She also supports those facing addictions, fertility stress, and the emotional strain of caregiving or hospice and end-of-life situations.

Her background includes extensive work with people managing life transitions like divorce, separation, and midlife crises. She helps clients sort feelings of emptiness, guilt, and shame and address impulsivity or infidelity concerns. Andrea also assists people who want to find clearer life purpose or recover from family-of-origin wounds.

Sessions are tailored to each person. Andrea listens first, then builds a plan that fits goals and daily life. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques chosen to match the issue at hand and the person in front of her.

Starting therapy can feel hard, and Andrea recognizes that courage is required to begin. She invites people to take small steps, name their priorities, and work toward change at a pace that feels manageable.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Andrea uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful patterns in relationships and attachment, then practice new ways of relating and communicating to reduce conflict and increase connection. A second technique emphasizes coping skills for stress, anxiety, and impulsivity, teaching breathing, grounding, and behavioral strategies to manage intense feelings and cravings.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Andrea will discuss options, listen to your concerns and goals, and adapt strategies to suit your needs. Together you decide which techniques feel most useful and adjust them as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility that fits busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session is needed, phone sessions require less bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging can work for quick check-ins or when typing feels easier. These formats make it possible to maintain regular care across work, caregiving, or travel commitments while staying focused on the issues you want to address.
