About Andrea
Andrea Tucker is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Indiana who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and relationship struggles. She also supports people dealing with issues related to sexuality and LGBT concerns, codependency, and feelings of isolation. Andrea writes and plans sessions to meet each person's needs, offering respectful and compassionate care.
Andrea uses straightforward conversation to identify what matters most to each person. She focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions. Sessions aim to help people notice unhelpful patterns, try new responses, and build small routines that make life feel more manageable.
Her background includes seven years of professional experience in clinical settings. That experience includes supporting people with drug and alcohol concerns, communication problems, anger, and the emotional aftermath of guilt and shame. Andrea adapts her approach when people face more than one concern at the same time, such as co-morbidity between mood and substance issues.
Andrea favors methods that link thoughts, feelings, and behavior to everyday choices. She collaborates on a plan that fits each person's goals and pace. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to make that step clearer and more doable.
People who choose Andrea can expect a calm, direct style and a focus on concrete tools. She encourages honesty about what is and isn't working. Progress is framed around practical changes and clearer decisions, not quick fixes.
How Andrea uses CBT online and finds the right fit
Andrea uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes to see what helps reduce anxiety, low mood, or impulsive reactions. It can be useful for stress, depression, and addiction-related patterns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Andrea will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then tailor techniques and pacing to fit their needs. Together they decide which tools and homework tasks feel realistic and useful for daily life.
If you want to pursue online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find that remote sessions help maintain consistency and apply skills directly to their everyday routines.
