How Andrea’s approaches work online
Andrea uses narrative therapy to help people tell and reframe the stories that shape their sense of self. This approach looks at the meanings people attach to events and helps identify alternative storylines that support change and hope.She also uses client-centered therapy which focuses on listening closely and reflecting back what matters to the client. This method helps people feel heard and makes it easier to set goals that fit their values and daily life.
Andrea combines cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) tools when helpful to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral changes. CBT techniques are useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress by offering concrete steps to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Andrea will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face from different places, phone sessions can be easier with low bandwidth, chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between sessions.
