How Andrea uses talk therapy online
Andrea blends client-centered practice with concrete methods so sessions focus on what matters to the person. Client-Centered Therapy means Andrea begins by listening to your priorities and preferences and adjusts pacing and topics to fit what you want to work on. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers clear tools for changing thought patterns and behaviors that keep anxiety and anger active. Mindfulness Therapy provides simple attention and breathing practices to manage stress and pause reactive responses.Choosing the right approach is a shared task. Andrea will discuss options and try techniques together to see what fits your goals and comfort level. She aims to adapt methods over time based on what helps most, and she checks in regularly about progress and preferences.
