About Andrea
Andrea Maxwell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who supports people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, depression, and related concerns. She is experienced helping with grief, anger, addictions, self-esteem, bipolar mood concerns, and coping with life changes. Andrea also addresses issues connected to adoption and foster care, family of origin difficulties, panic attacks, and post-traumatic stress.
Andrea uses a person-centered approach that treats each person as the expert on their life.
Background and approach
She listens first and helps people find their own strengths. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals, not long lectures. She commonly draws from cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors.
Solution-focused strategies are used to set short-term goals and track progress. Motivational interviewing can help with change when someone feels stuck, and trauma-focused methods are used when past events are getting in the way of daily life. Andrea brings three years of counseling experience and uses that experience to shape simple, doable plans with clients.
She aims to create a calm, respectful setting where people can practice new skills between meetings. Parents will find straightforward tools for managing stress and improving relationships with children. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

How Andrea’s Approaches Work Online
Andrea commonly blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral strategies and solution-focused techniques. Client-centered therapy means sessions start with listening and understanding each person's goals so plans match real life. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or panic. Solution-focused therapy emphasizes small, practical steps and measurable goals to produce changes people can see.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Andrea works collaboratively to choose or adapt methods based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in about what’s helping and changes the plan together if something isn’t working.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for fuller conversation and visual cues. Phone can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer quick, ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules and to access care from different locations.
