How Andrea’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's experience first, with the therapist listening closely and shaping conversation around what matters most. This approach helps people feel heard and work through relationship stress, family concerns, and questions about life purpose.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It tends to be practical and goal-oriented, useful for anxiety, panic symptoms, anger, and managing everyday stress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Andrea reviews the goals, preferences, and needs of each person and then recommends methods to try. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan over time rather than committing to one path up front.
