About Andrea
Andrea Strayer is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Indiana with eight years of practice. She focuses on practical, goal-oriented care to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and ADHD. Andrea aims to make sessions straightforward and useful for daily life.
She uses a solution-focused approach that starts by identifying the most pressing problem. Then she works with clients to make a clear plan and put it into action.
Background and approach
Sessions are often about small, achievable steps that build toward bigger changes. Andrea has supported people through family conflict, communication problems, and the strain that comes from caregiving. She also addresses workplace stress, mood concerns, panic symptoms, and issues tied to chronic illness or disability.
Her experience includes crisis intervention and helping people manage impulsivity and control issues. Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Bowling Green State University and a Master of Social Work from The Ohio State University. Andrea draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and practical goal-setting in her work.
Clients can expect clear planning, regular check-ins on progress, and adjustments when needed. The sessions aim to be collaborative and focused on real-life problems. Andrea helps people move from feeling stuck to taking concrete steps toward their goals.
Practical approaches and online care
Andrea often uses a solution-focused approach that narrows in on the most pressing issue, sets short-term goals, and builds a step-by-step plan. This method helps when someone wants clear actions they can try between sessions to reduce stress or manage ADHD-related challenges.She also draws on evidence-based techniques that target mood and anxiety symptoms through structured problem solving and behavioral changes. Those techniques help with panic symptoms, workplace stress, and patterns of impulsivity by teaching small strategies that change daily habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they review what is working and adjust the plan over time so sessions stay practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper interaction. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, shorter updates, or when writing feels easier. These options give flexibility for scheduling and for choosing how to connect based on day-to-day life.
