How Andrea’s approaches translate to online care

Andrea commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts that lead to distress and to practice small behavior changes that improve daily life. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress-related problems.

She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support people who feel unsure about making changes. That method focuses on building motivation and finding personally meaningful reasons to try new behaviors. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to identify strengths and set concrete next steps, keeping work short-term and practical.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Andrea works collaboratively to choose techniques that match a person’s goals, preferences, and life demands. She checks in about what’s working and adjusts plans together as needed.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for fuller conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a shorter break or people who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text are useful for quick check-ins, homework review, or when someone needs flexible timing. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around school, work, and family life.
