About Andrea
Andrea Blatchley is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and ADHD-related concerns. She writes plainly and listens closely so clients can talk through what feels overwhelming. Andrea offers steady support while people take small, practical steps toward change.
Andrea has 15 years of clinical experience practicing in California as an LMFT. She focuses on everyday problems such as mood shifts, low self-esteem, anger, work stress, and career uncertainty.
Background and approach
She also helps with communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, and forgiveness work. Her sessions aim to be warm and straightforward. She uses client-centered methods to follow each person's priorities, cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns, and solution-focused strategies to set short-term goals.
That mix lets clients test new ways of coping and notice what works quickly. Andrea typically structures sessions to clarify immediate concerns, try practical skills, and check progress. She encourages parents and young adults to name small, doable changes rather than chase perfection.
Many people find this approach useful when juggling life transitions or when ADHD makes organizing and focus harder. Her California practice emphasizes collaboration and practical skills over jargon. Andrea guides people through clear steps, offers feedback, and adapts her approach as needs shift.
She aims to make each session feel useful and manageable.
How Andrea’s approaches work online
Andrea uses client-centered therapy to listen and follow each person’s priorities. That approach focuses on understanding how you see things and on building trust so new ideas can be tested over time.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and practice new behaviors for anxiety, mood issues, and focus challenges often seen with ADHD.
Solution-focused therapy is used to set small, practical goals and track quick wins. This helps people who want hands-on strategies to manage stress, improve communication, or handle life transitions.
Finding the right mix is part of the work. Andrea will collaborate with each client to identify goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. The process is conversational and goal-oriented rather than prescriptive.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues help the conversation, phone sessions can fit a short break at work, live chat is handy for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
