About Andrea

Andrea Travers is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) in Maryland. She has 13 years of experience supporting people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, depression, and substance use. Andrea aims to help clients find clearer connections between their thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and past experiences.

She works with adults and children to build practical coping skills. Sessions focus on understanding patterns that keep someone stuck and trying small changes that can make daily life easier. Andrea uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide this work and tailors the pace to each person.

Andrea often helps people facing codependency, attachment concerns, abandonment worries, and relationship communication problems. She also supports those dealing with caregiver stress, fertility-related distress, addiction, domestic violence effects, and emotional emptiness. Her approach addresses both immediate symptoms and the underlying patterns that contribute to them.

In session, Andrea talks through how past experiences shape present reactions. She helps people test new ways of responding and practice skills between sessions. The goal is to increase confidence, reduce reactivity, and improve coping with life changes.

People who choose Andrea can expect straightforward language, steady guidance, and an emphasis on practical steps. To learn more, prospective clients select the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to begin scheduling.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work

Andrea uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people notice links between thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and past experiences. One approach focuses on practical skills training to reduce anxiety and improve mood; this means learning short, repeatable strategies to manage stressful moments and practicing them between sessions. Another approach emphasizes understanding attachment and relationship patterns to lessen codependency and improve communication; this involves identifying long-standing interaction styles and trying new, manageable responses. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Andrea collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts methods over time based on what works and what feels manageable for the client. If you are interested in online therapy, confirm the current session formats before booking since formats are not specified here. Many people appreciate online sessions because they can fit therapy into work breaks, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins on busy days. Online work can also make it easier to practice skills in real-life settings and then bring observations back to session for refinement.
