About Andrea
Andrea Mckee is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oregon with 12 years of experience in mental health.

Her work has included roles supporting people affected by adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, and domestic violence. She also has experience with panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, self-harm, and mood disorders. Andrea is familiar with communication problems, family of origin issues, and the isolation that can come with social anxiety and phobia.

How evidence-based techniques can work online
Andrea uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills people can practice outside of sessions. Cognitive strategies help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts that increase anxiety and avoidance. These strategies are often taught in short, structured exercises and homework that build confidence over time.Exposure-based methods help people face fears in gradual steps. That might mean planning small, manageable situations to practice approaches to social anxiety and phobia and tracking how reactions change. For trauma-related distress, practical grounding and stabilization techniques are used to reduce overwhelming feelings and make skills more doable in daily life.
Finding the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss goals and preferences, try approaches in session, and adjust plans based on what feels most useful. That shared decision making helps tailor the work while keeping it concrete and goal-focused.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to schedule therapy around work or caregiving, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins when small adjustments are needed between in-person visits. Licensed professionals can use these benefits to help integrate practice into everyday life without requiring major schedule changes.
