About Andrea

Andrea Ferrara is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 17 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people navigate parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and other everyday challenges. Andrea writes straightforward goals with each person and works in a way that aims to make change practical and manageable.

Andrea draws on a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. She uses client-centered techniques to build a strong working relationship.

Background and approach

She pairs that with cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Emotion-focused and relationship-based methods are used when couples or intimacy issues are part of the work. Her background includes independent practice and work in inpatient and outpatient settings, crisis call centers, and suicide hotlines.

That variety shaped how she responds in a calm, direct way when problems feel overwhelming. She has experience supporting people through grief, trauma, addiction, mood concerns, and parenting stress. Sessions center on clear goals, practical skills, and homework that fits daily life.

Andrea helps people identify small steps that add up to real change. She also offers coaching-style support for career and life-purpose decisions. Andrea works with adults on issues such as parenting strain, communication problems, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and sleep or eating issues.

She practices in Georgia and conducts sessions in English.

How Andrea’s Approaches Work Online

Andrea commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy when offering online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, validating a person’s experience, and building a collaborative relationship so goals can be set together. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replaces them with practical strategies for managing anxiety, sleep, or parenting stress.

She also draws on emotionally focused and Gottman-informed ideas for relationship and intimacy concerns. Those methods emphasize understanding emotional responses and improving communication patterns between partners, which can be practiced in sessions and then tried at home. Together the client and therapist decide which approach fits best, and adjustments are made as goals evolve.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and relationship work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging offer quick support, brief check-ins, or homework coaching between longer sessions, making therapy more flexible for busy parents and professionals.
