Remote therapy tailored to goals and skills practice
Andrea uses several evidence-informed approaches in remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, explained in straightforward terms, focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and practicing alternative strategies. Dialectical Behavior Therapy centers on skill building in areas such as emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness, and it can be useful when learning concrete tools is a priority. Motivational Interviewing helps clarify personal reasons for change and supports movement toward chosen goals with a collaborative, nonjudgmental stance.
She aims to collaborate with each person to set clear goals, prioritize skills to practice between sessions, and adapt conversation and exercises to individual needs. Online sessions are available by video calls and phone sessions, and she also offers live chat and text-based messaging as part of the ways to stay connected between appointments. These options allow conversations and skill work to continue in formats that fit different schedules and preferences.
