Remote sessions and therapeutic approach
DeAndrea offers online sessions that blend structured skill work with a client-led emphasis on personal goals. She frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. In accessible terms, CBT involves clarifying specific thoughts and testing new behaviors in daily life, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and workplace concerns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques are also part of her remote work for those who want practical tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. When clients prefer a more exploratory stance, she integrates Client-Centered therapy to prioritize the person’s perspective, listening closely and responding to what the client identifies as most important. These approaches can be combined to match a client’s goals and pace.
Online sessions are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. DeAndrea frames the remote experience as collaborative: she and the client pick methods and formats that fit the client’s life and therapeutic aims.
