About Andrea
Andrea Beltran is a licensed clinical social worker in Colorado with 10 years of experience. She uses a straightforward, person-first style to help people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and changes in life. She speaks English and aims to make first steps feel doable for someone who is unsure about therapy.
Andrea centers conversations on each person's story. She draws on Narrative Therapy to help people see how their life stories shape current challenges and choices.
Background and approach
That can make problems feel less fixed and open up new ways to act and feel. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on what matters most to the person in front of her. That means listening closely, asking practical questions, and shaping the work around a person's goals and pace.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy provide tools she offers for managing anxiety, impulsivity, panic, or mood shifts. Those approaches help break down overwhelming thoughts and build small skills for calmer responses. Mindfulness practices are woven into the work when helpful, teaching simple ways to notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept up in them.
Andrea also supports people dealing with ADHD-related concentration challenges, caregiver stress, workplace strain, loneliness, fertility concerns, and issues around guilt or forgiveness. Every plan is tailored. Sessions can focus on short-term coping, skill building, or deeper story work depending on what someone needs.
The aim is practical change and clearer direction, guided by compassion and respect.

Online session options
How narrative and skills-based work fit into online therapy
Andrea blends Narrative Therapy with Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral approaches when working online. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps rewrite unhelpful storylines so problems feel less defining. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the focus on the person's priorities and pace, offering a supportive space to name what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks down upsetting thoughts and teaches concrete skills to change patterns of thinking and behavior, which can help with anxiety, panic, and mood shifts.Choosing an approach is a team effort. Andrea will talk with each person about goals and preferences and try methods that fit their needs. If a skill-based strategy is needed first, she may focus on CBT or DBT techniques, then return to narrative work to reshape meaning and purpose as progress is made.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and practicing new skills in real time. Phone sessions can be quicker check-ins or a lower-bandwidth option. Live chat and messaging let people share brief updates, work through short exercises, or check in between sessions. Together these options provide flexibility for busy schedules, different comfort levels, and varied daily demands.
