Remote therapy and communication options
Andrea offers online care that incorporates client-centered exploration alongside practical skills-building. Client-Centered Therapy provides space for clients to lead the process while the clinician reflects and supports personal priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is described in straightforward terms as a way to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through collaborative exercises and action plans.
For clients working through difficult memories or stress related to trauma, Trauma-Focused Therapy provides methods to process those experiences in a paced, therapeutic way. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques are used when clarity and incremental change are the goals, helping clients set realistic steps and build momentum toward those goals.
Sessions are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different communication preferences. This range of options allows clients and the clinician to choose formats that match their needs for discussion, skill practice, and ongoing support.
