How Andrea’s approaches fit online therapy
Andrea commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. ACT helps people notice what matters and take values-based actions even when thoughts or feelings are difficult. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client’s pace to build trust and clarity.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple awareness practices that reduce reactivity and increase focus. Those practices can be short and concrete, which often makes them easy to use between sessions and during busy parenting days.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Andrea works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s needs, goals, and daily life. She checks in about what is and isn’t helpful and adjusts the plan so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation for deeper exploration, phone is helpful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be used for a focused check-in, and messaging supports brief updates or coaching between meetings. These options make it possible to fit therapy into varied schedules and routines.
