Dr. Andrea Hayes is a former educator and a licensed counseling professional serving clients in North Carolina. With nine years of clinical experience, she combines academic training and practical work across multiple settings to support people facing a range of challenges.
She holds a master’s degree in Community Counseling and a Ph.D. in Advanced Studies in Human Behavior with a counseling focus. Her background includes work in prison settings, juvenile justice programs, private practice, military facilities, and community-based agencies. In those roles she has provided care for concerns such as depression, anxiety, oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), ADHD, substance use, and both physical and emotional trauma.
Dr. Hayes aims to create a warm, inviting therapeutic environment built on rapport, trust, and mutual respect. Her primary orientation is person-centered, and she frequently integrates cognitive-behavioral therapy and solution-focused techniques. Treatment plans are tailored to each person’s needs and adjusted when other approaches are more appropriate.
She emphasizes collaborative work and supports clients who are willing to engage in the process of change. Dr. Hayes is available to help guide individuals through difficult transitions and toward personal growth.
Many people wonder whether remote counseling can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been found to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions for most individuals.
One major advantage is flexibility - clients can meet with a therapist in the format that fits their life, whether by video call, telephone, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to maintain consistency and fit sessions into a busy schedule.
Licensed professionals provide online care, and if a different therapeutic fit is needed, clients generally have the option to switch therapists. For many people, virtual therapy offers an accessible and practical way to address everyday mental health concerns and cope with life transitions.
