About Andrea
Dr. Andrea Hayes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. She has nine years of experience and a background in education and counseling.
Her work centers on practical help for everyday problems related to mood, stress, and life transitions. She uses straightforward, person-centered care and relies on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thoughts and behaviors that keep people stuck.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals, step-by-step skills, and small changes that add up over time. She also draws on solution-focused ideas to keep work goal-oriented and efficient. Dr.
Hayes has experience in community agencies, military facilities, juvenile justice, prison settings, and independent practice. That range shaped a flexible style aimed at meeting people where they are and adapting plans to real-life limits. Common concerns she helps with include anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma and abuse, grief, stress, anger, addictions, and parenting-related strain.
Painful relationship dynamics, compassion fatigue, and issues around self-esteem and self-love are also part of her focus. She offers support around forgiveness and veteran and armed forces issues as part of her broader practice. Treatment plans are adjusted to each person's situation and goals.
People working with Dr. Hayes can expect a warm, respectful approach and concrete tools to try between sessions. She emphasizes collaboration and practical steps rather than abstract theory.

Practical approaches for online parenting support
Dr. Hayes commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and shift behaviors. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that affect parenting and relationships.She also uses person-centered and solution-focused ideas to keep sessions warm and goal-directed. Person-centered work emphasizes listening and respect while solution-focused work narrows in on what will help most right now. Together these approaches aim to build skills and create short-term plans that fit real life.
Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, daily routines, and what has or has not worked before. Then they will try approaches that match those needs and adjust plans as progress is made.
Online therapy offers a lot of practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and do deeper work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat supports quick check-ins, and text-based messaging is useful for brief updates or questions between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy parenting schedules and to continue work from different locations.
