She practices from a warm, compassionate stance and also offers direct feedback when needed. Andrea focuses on helping people build practical tools and insight so they can move toward the life they want.
Andrea meets people where they are and forms a plan together with each person. She places importance on a strong working relationship and ongoing dialogue about how therapy is going. That relationship is a central part of how she helps people make changes.
Her work addresses many common concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and LGBT matters. She also helps with attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, caregiver stress, addiction concerns, dissociation, family of origin problems, divorce and separation, and first responder issues.
Andrea blends gentle listening with active, skills-based work. She uses approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to tailor tools to each person. Sessions typically focus on building coping skills, noticing patterns, and trying new ways of responding.
People who want a collaborative therapist who will listen and also offer practical steps may find her style helpful. Andrea works from Vermont and communicates in English. She accepts international clients and brings over a decade of clinical experience to her practice.
Online therapy approaches and what they offer
Andrea often uses Client-Centered Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening carefully and following the person’s pace so they feel understood and able to explore concerns. ACT emphasizes noticing thoughts and values, then taking actions that align with what matters most, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with change.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns that began in close relationships and how those patterns affect current connections. That approach can be useful for intimacy issues, attachment wounds, and relationship patterns people want to change.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals, needs, and preferences. That means sessions may focus more on listening, values-based action, attachment patterns, or practical skills depending on what helps most.
