About Andrea
Andrea Vadnais is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Oklahoma. She focuses on supporting people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, and major life changes. Andrea writes plainly and listens carefully so parents can talk through struggles and find practical next steps.
Andrea has five years of clinical experience in medical and community settings. Her background includes work with parents and youth in contexts where grief, attachment disruptions, and trauma come up.
Background and approach
She draws on several approaches to tailor care to each person's goals and situation. In sessions she helps people untangle overwhelming feelings, manage anxious thoughts, and build steady routines that ease day-to-day strain. She also addresses guilt, shame, and communication problems that come up after loss or conflict.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward with clear tools to try between meetings. When parenting is a major concern Andrea focuses on practical strategies to reduce household stress and improve parent-child interactions. She partners with parents to set small, achievable goals and to notice what’s working.
She stresses strengths and skill building rather than judgment. People who choose Andrea can expect real-world pacing and simple, doable techniques. She helps clients track progress, adjust plans, and practice new habits until they feel more manageable.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional reactions. It helps parents and individuals understand patterns, improve connection, and reduce reactivity in relationships.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts, lower anxiety, and develop coping routines that can be practiced between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Andrea works with each person to identify goals and picks methods that match their needs and preferences. She checks in and adjusts plans as progress is made so therapy stays useful and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people work face-to-face from different locations, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging support shorter check-ins or ongoing coaching between visits. These options make it easier to fit work on stress, parenting, trauma responses, and grief into a busy life.
