Client-centered care and online therapy options
Andrea practices from a client-centered therapy perspective, which means sessions begin with the person's own goals, feelings, and priorities. This approach focuses on listening closely, reflecting what matters most, and helping people make choices that fit their lives. It often helps with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, and building self-compassion.She emphasizes a collaborative process where therapist and client work together to find what helps. If something isn’t working, she adjusts the plan based on the client’s feedback and changing needs. Finding the right approach is part of the work rather than a fixed starting point.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut down on travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it simpler to maintain consistent appointments during life changes. When you start, she will discuss practical scheduling and format choices so sessions match how you live and what you need.
