To begin, she invites people to reflect on their needs and try a collaborative conversation to see if the fit feels right.
Approaches that connect thoughts, body, and story
Andrea integrates a few evidence-based methods into her practice. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Narrative exposure work helps people organize and make sense of difficult memories by putting individual events into a clearer personal story. Mindfulness and movement practices are used to increase body awareness and reduce stress through simple breathing, grounding, and gentle movement exercises.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Andrea listens to your goals and preferences, then suggests techniques to try together. She adjusts methods over time based on what is helpful and what feels manageable for you.

In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing sessions during breaks or from another convenient location. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed and reduce the need to prepare for an in-person visit, helping therapy stay consistent with day-to-day demands.
