Her approach blends medical perspective with counseling to address mental health and substance use concerns.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Andrea uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people understand and change unhelpful patterns. One common approach focuses on identifying links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so clients can test small changes and notice different outcomes; this is helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Another approach addresses trauma and abuse by creating step-by-step plans to manage distressing memories and reactions, teaching grounding and emotion-regulation skills that can reduce overwhelm.

Finding the right method is part of the work and happens together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up, then adapt methods over time. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what actually helps each person in their daily life.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video sessions let people talk face to face, while phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and messaging work for brief check-ins, reflections after sessions, or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit consistent care into a busy schedule.
