About Andrea
Andrea Strayer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with eight years of experience based in Indiana. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and concerns related to attention and focus. Andrea uses a practical, solution-focused style aimed at clear steps forward.
Andrea begins by identifying the problem someone is facing. She then helps create a short plan with concrete actions to try. Sessions typically focus on what can be changed now and on tracking small, doable progress.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Bowling Green State University and a Master of Social Work from The Ohio State University. Those studies inform a straightforward approach that favors real-world strategies over jargon.
Andrea also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication struggles, workplace issues, and the emotional fallout of separation or difficult relationships. She helps with mood problems, panic, trauma reactions, and concerns like guilt, shame, and impulse control.
In sessions she aims to empower people to meet short- and long-term goals. Work and wellbeing concerns are one of the areas she addresses alongside personal and family stressors. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How evidence-based methods fit into online therapy
Andrea practices with evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a solution-focused framework that aims for clear, practical steps. A solution-focused approach zeroes in on the specific challenge, sets small achievable goals, and checks what works. This is useful for workplace stress, anxiety, and day-to-day problem solving.Another common element in evidence-based work is brief skills practice that people can try between sessions. These practices often include short behavior or routine changes to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or improve concentration. They are designed to fit into a busy schedule and support progress toward short- and long-term goals.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend methods to try. Together you can adjust the plan if something isn’t helping and emphasize techniques that feel most useful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or treatment for chronic illness because it removes travel time and can allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to continue care when routines change, while keeping the focus on practical steps and goal progress.
