Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care

Andrea often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify personal values, and take meaningful action even when feelings are difficult. ACT supports people who are struggling with anxiety, stress, or life transitions by focusing on what matters most and building psychological flexibility.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to emotional distress and to teach practical skills for change. CBT is useful for depression, anxiety, sleep difficulties, and managing everyday stressors.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Andrea works with each person to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances, adjusting strategies over time as needed to support progress.

Online therapy with Andrea can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support, practice new skills between sessions, and maintain continuity of care when life gets complicated.
