How Andrea’s Approaches Work Online
Andrea commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is practical and problem focused, and it can help with anxiety, mood issues, and coping skills.She also uses Motivational Interviewing, which is a conversational style that supports people who are ambivalent about change. This approach helps clarify values and build motivation for steps like reducing substance use or starting new routines.
Solution-Focused Therapy is part of her toolbox too; it centers on small changes that move clients toward their goals and highlights strengths that already exist.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Andrea will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan based on what works. The first sessions often focus on identifying priorities and testing small strategies.
