Andrea LeBeau, LSCSW

Andrea LeBeau is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) based in Kansas with seven years of experience. She focuses on common struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, anger, grief, and daily habit patterns that affect wellbeing. Andrea aims to meet people where they are and build a therapy relationship that feels respectful and straightforward.

She keeps a client-centered approach and listens first to what matters most to each person. Sessions are grounded in practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness, with narrative and motivational techniques added when helpful. Andrea says she is empathetic while also being direct and transparent during sessions.

Her background includes work in the child welfare field and roles supporting people in crisis, including time with a national suicide hotline. That experience informs how she responds to urgent concerns and family-related stress. She has also supervised therapists who provide services to families in foster care.

In sessions she focuses on thoughts and everyday habits that shape feelings and behavior. Typical topics include parenting stress, family dynamics, attachment and adoption issues, body image and eating concerns, substance-related problems, and coping with life transitions. Andrea aims to offer clear feedback and to help people build small, usable changes.

People can expect a direct but warm style, practical strategies, and an emphasis on a respectful therapeutic relationship. To start, she asks clients to share their goals so she can tailor methods to their needs.

How Andrea’s approaches translate to online work

Andrea often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening closely and shaping sessions around each person’s priorities. This approach helps when someone wants practical help with daily habits, parenting strain, or relationship patterns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another common tool she uses. CBT looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and habit changes.

Mindfulness techniques are used to help people notice thoughts and bodily reactions without judgement. These practices can aid stress management, emotion regulation, and coping with grief or trauma reminders.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then suggest methods to try. Decisions about methods are made collaboratively and adjusted as progress is reviewed.

Check the current session options before booking to confirm how sessions are offered. Many people find online therapy helps fit care into busy schedules, makes scheduling easier around work or family, and lets them use brief check-ins or longer sessions as needed. Online work can support steady habit change, skill practice, and timely problem solving without requiring travel.
