How her approaches guide online therapy
Andrea commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help people change thought patterns and everyday habits that affect mood and relationships. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real life, which can reduce anxiety and depression. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change, which can be useful for addiction, ambivalence, or behavior shifts.The right approach often becomes clear in the first few sessions. Andrea works collaboratively to match methods to each person’s goals, needs, and preferences. She will talk with clients about what feels doable and adjust the plan as progress is made.
