Background and approach

Approaches Andrea names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

Approaches that translate to online care

Andrea commonly uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and name the feelings that drive their relationship patterns and personal reactions. EFT-style work can help clarify what matters most in close connections and reduce repeated cycles of hurt.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on noticing thoughts and emotions while taking steps that match a person’s values. ACT is useful when someone wants to commit to meaningful actions despite ongoing worry or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea meets people where they are and collaborates on a plan that fits their goals and preferences. She will discuss options and try methods that best match what a person hopes to change.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for a fuller conversation with visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins, and messaging or live chat can fit quick updates or flexible schedules. These formats make it possible to work on emotions, values, and behavior without needing to rearrange a full day.
