About Andrea
Andrea Brown is a licensed professional counselor with 17 years of experience in mental health. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, trauma, and parenting challenges. Her aim is to make getting help clear and manageable for worried parents and caregivers.
Andrea draws on a range of settings experience, including residential programs, partial care, outpatient services, crisis work, and in-home support. That background gives her familiarity with different levels of need and practical problems that come up in day-to-day life.
Background and approach
She has particular experience with anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, and trauma. Her approach is person-centered and integrative. She starts by meeting people where they are and pairs techniques to the issue at hand.
Andrea commonly uses cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing in sessions. Sessions focus on realistic change. Conversations are warm and supportive, yet direct when needed.
She works collaboratively with each person to set goals and try methods that fit their situation. Andrea understands that reaching out can feel hard. She listens for what matters most to the person in front of her and helps build step-by-step plans to cope with life changes, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and anger.

Approaches that fit into online sessions
Andrea commonly uses client-centered work that focuses on the person in front of her. This means sessions begin with your priorities and the therapist adjusts the pace and techniques to match your needs. Client-centered work helps people feel heard and keeps conversations focused on practical next steps.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. CBT tends to include short exercises, skill-building, and tools you can practice between visits to reduce anxiety and manage mood swings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with you about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then try approaches that fit. You and the therapist adjust the plan based on what helps most over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls let you do full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging can provide quick check-ins, shorter updates, or a way to keep momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy parenting schedules and life changes.
