About Andrea

Andrea Bray Ryan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, stress, grief, or life changes. Her approach is warm and nonjudgmental, and she works with each person to build useful coping skills and clearer ways of relating to others.

Andrea uses practical tools like relaxation techniques, mindfulness, and self-regulation exercises. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy and trauma-focused methods when those fit a person’s needs.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to use a client’s existing strengths while teaching new skills for everyday challenges. Her background includes work in a behavioral hospital with both inpatient and outpatient clients, and several years in independent counseling practice. That experience informs how she supports people with complex or co-occurring concerns, including mood swings, trauma and abuse, addiction-related issues, and parenting stress.

Andrea often helps people with relationship strain, family of origin issues, and identity-related concerns such as gender dysphoria and LGBT matters. She also addresses attention-related struggles like ADHD and issues around isolation, abandonment, and forgiveness. The style in sessions is collaborative.

Andrea describes herself as a fellow traveler who listens first, then helps people try new ways of coping. Practical suggestions, movement-based techniques such as yoga integration, and evidence-informed strategies are part of the work when they suit the person.

Online support

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people understand and shift the patterns that keep them stuck in difficult emotions or relationship cycles. In an online setting this work focuses on noticing emotional responses and trying new ways of expressing needs and feelings during sessions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is practical and skills-based. Online CBT often includes working on thought patterns, trying behavioral experiments between sessions, and using structured exercises to reduce anxiety and depression. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that ease stress and improve focus, and these practices can be coached during a call or through short guided exercises sent between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, then suggest a mix of methods that make sense for your situation. That process is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Online sessions offer flexibility and easier scheduling. Video calls let you have face-to-face conversations, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera, and live chat or text sessions can fit brief check-ins or days when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
