About LeeAndrea
LeeAndrea Sturtz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma with three years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, and life changes, with additional focus on social anxiety and phobia and concerns like abandonment, communication problems, and guilt and shame.
LeeAndrea uses trauma-informed and integrative methods in session. She draws on approaches such as cognitive processing work, dialectical behavior concepts, acceptance and commitment ideas, and somatic-informed practices. Sessions are conversational and practical, with an emphasis on skills people can use between meetings.
Her style centers on helping people reconnect with themselves and build more authentic relationships. She talks with clients about developing self-compassion and noticing moments of awe in everyday life. That can include small, concrete practices to support mood and coping during difficult times.
LeeAndrea also focuses on life purpose and self-love alongside mood disorders and women’s issues. She works with people on communication skills and on untangling patterns tied to abandonment or shame. Work often includes exploring what gets in the way of relationships and experimenting with different ways of responding.
Because her approach pulls from several evidence-based techniques, sessions can include skill teaching, reflection, and body-centered awareness. People who prefer straightforward, skills-focused conversations about anxiety, depression, and trauma often find this style helpful.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
LeeAndrea uses a few evidence-based techniques explained in plain terms. Cognitive processing approaches help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts that keep anxiety or low mood active. Dialectical behavior concepts teach practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Somatic-informed practices bring attention to bodily sensations and gentle movement or breathing to help lessen physical signs of anxiety.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to see which approaches fit their goals and day-to-day life, making adjustments as they learn what helps and what does not. This is a shared process rather than a fixed plan.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow people to practice skills in real-world settings and bring that experience back into conversation with the therapist.
