About Andrea
Andrea Alli is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with ten years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction struggles, grief, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. She listens with respect and sensitivity and begins by learning about each person's strengths and needs. Andrea aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.
Her approach centers on the person in front of her. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a space where people can speak without pressure and shape the goals they want to work toward. Andrea also draws on mindfulness practices to help with persistent worry and somatic methods to notice how stress shows up in the body.
For trauma-related concerns she integrates trauma-focused work and may use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing as part of the plan when appropriate. Sessions focus on practical coping skills, clearer thinking about next steps, and small, achievable changes that fit real life.
Andrea supports people dealing with obsessions, compulsions, phobias, sleep problems, low self-esteem, relationship strain, and major life transitions. She explains options plainly and works together with clients to pick what feels helpful. Her style is patient, direct, and aimed at steady progress.
Based in Vermont, Andrea brings a decade of clinical practice to each meeting. She encourages people to start where they are and build on the capabilities they already have.
How Andrea’s approaches adapt to online work
Andrea uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on what matters to the person. That means the conversation follows the client's pace and priorities, with the therapist offering reflection and support rather than steering the agenda. Mindfulness Therapy adds simple practices and breathing-based exercises to reduce anxiety and improve sleep, often taught in short, guided moments during sessions.For trauma-related concerns Andrea combines trauma-focused techniques with somatic awareness to notice how stress shows up in the body. When appropriate, she may incorporate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to address traumatic memories as part of a step-by-step plan. These methods aim to reduce distress and help people regain control over daily functioning.
Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. Andrea will review goals, preferences, and reactions to different methods and adjust the plan together. Clients are invited to give feedback so the approach can change as progress happens.
