About Ondrea
Ondrea Hairston is a licensed clinical social worker with two decades of experience. She aims to help people who are stressed, anxious, depressed, or coping with trauma and life changes. Ondrea keeps sessions straightforward and focused on practical next steps so parents and busy adults can use what they learn quickly.
She draws on several therapy styles to match each person's needs, including Emotionally-Focused Therapy, attachment-based work, client-centered care, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness practices.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize clear communication about feelings and what to try between meetings. Ondrea encourages small, manageable changes that add up over time. Ondrea trained at the University of Washington and completed her Master of Social Work in 2005 while raising a family.
That experience informs her approach to work-life strain and practical problem solving. She has worked in many areas of social work practice over the last 20 years. Her practice pays attention to the real-world pressures people face - caregiver strain, first responder stress, veteran concerns, postpartum changes, and multicultural issues.
She helps people talk through communication problems, codependency, impulsivity, and questions about life purpose. Ondrea offers sessions in English and accepts clients in Indiana as well as international clients. Her style is steady and direct, focusing on understanding what matters to each person and helping them build better patterns over time.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name their deepest emotions and how those emotions shape interactions. It can be useful for people who want clearer emotional connection and to change painful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current behavior and closeness; it can help people understand why they react a certain way and practice new responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, then suggest one or more methods to try. Together you will decide what feels most helpful and adjust as needed over time.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video is helpful for deeper conversational work and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a quick check-in during a break. Live chat or messaging lets people move at their own pace and keep notes of what was discussed, which can be useful between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
