Hi. My name is Andrea. I'm a Mental Health Counselor licensed in Massachusetts and Nebraska with 10 years experience as a therapist. I began my career working in an inpatient dual diagnosis unit. I simultaneously worked as a therapist for the federal government proving therapy to men and women looking for guidance on making good life decisions. For several years, I ran an outpatient clinic and was fortunate enough to work with clients ranging in age from 5-68. Needless to say, my experience as a therapist has been vast and includes people from all walks of life! For the entirety of my career, I've done initial evaluations for all of my clients, in addition to clients being seen by other therapists. This has given me the opportunity to learn about and work with an array of clients with many different presenting problems. Some of specialties include depression, anxiety, self esteem, communication issues, and relationship problems. In addition to these specialties, I have worked with many people who have suffered traumas due to abuse or other factors. My counseling style is collaborative. It's important to me that the people I work with feel like they're being heard and that therapy is being tailored to their needs. I do not believe that therapy is a one size fits all so I will work hard to figure out what works best for you instead of providing generic responses and interventions. You can expect that I will be honest, friendly, and supportive during our time together. I hope to provide a judgement free zone where you feel able to share whatever is on your mind, no matter how embarrassing or uncomfortable. I use cognitive behavioral approaches but I will tailor my approach to meet your needs so there is a greater change of success. I have been providing online therapy for some time and find that this is the best way to provide access to mental health for everyone. I have found that this platform allows people to share their thoughts, reflect, and receive fast responses that just isn't possible with traditional face to face therapy. We no longer have to wait weeks for appointments in order to start working on feeling better.

I am a creative, energetic mental health counselor licensed in Massachusetts, Texas, and Virginia with over 11 years of experience working as a licensed mental health counselor and board certified art therapist. I am comfortable treating adults with various degrees of concerns and/or mental illnesses and have a significant amount of experience working with active duty military, military families, and veterans . My counseling style is warm, interactive, genuine, professional and supportive to foster self exploration and expression of feelings in session without fear of judgement. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach to counseling is eclectic to meet the needs of my client but often combines cognitive-behavioral, short term solution focused, motivational interviewing and dialectical behavioral concepts. I can tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. For times when there are no words, I am happy to switch to utilizing metaphor, art or creative arts therapies. What I love about online therapy is that it's so flexible. When you reach out to me, I will be in touch with you within 24 hours, so you can message me any time, anywhere. I am available for live sessions over instant messenger, telephone or video chat. When it comes to your treatment, you're in charge - we can communicate in whatever way makes you feel most comfortable. It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

I have been a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in the Boston area for nearly 25 years having graduated from the University of Virginia and the Boston University School of Social Work with a Master's degree in Clinical Social Work. I have experience with inpatient and partial hospital treatment, but found that I loved working with clients individually on an outpatient basis. Though I worked in a substance abuse program, my clients presented with many other issues ( which often led to their substance abuse) including depression, anxiety, childhood trauma, self-esteem, grief and loss, and relationship conflicts. I took time off from professional work to raise my four children and hold volunteer positions in schools, church, and the community. This has given me a broader life view and an expanded perspective, and I feel I am a much better therapist for having had these experiences. I am a strong believer in the power of the therapeutic relationship and a client based approach. I believe that therapy should be tailored to each client's specific needs, with the therapist acting as an ally and partner in the process of identifying what is keeping you from reaching your goals. My therapeutic approach incorporates elements of cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy. I am warm, empathetic, accepting and non-judgmental, but will challenge negative thought patterns and beliefs when needed and help to empower you by teaching coping skills and mindfulness techniques. Sometimes we are all just doing the best we can, but it feels better to have someone offer an objective view, cheer on your strengths and successes, and just be there for you when you need it. I look forward to working with you !

I am trained and experienced in both individual and group therapy. In both these venues I place my greatest value on the exploration and development of the relationship — the bond that’s developing between me and you, the client. This is because I feel that our relationship is the blood flow that will determine by its very health the success of whatever theories and interventions are employed. I am a licensed therapist with over 20 years of experience working both abroad and in the US in vocational rehabilitation and individual and group psychotherapy. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, social anxiety, intimacy, life transitions, career challenges, and physical disability, among others. From day one of our meetings I will make every effort to, non-intrusively, get a sense of you as a whole person, with integral parts that hold strengths and passions as well as disappointment and pain. Creating the kind of safety in our interactions that will allow us to be honest, genuine, and collaborative will build a foundation for courageously making inroads in becoming self aware, seeing options, and making life changes. I am fortunate to be able to limit my case load in size leaving more time for thinking and planning creatively, for and with, those with whom I will have the pleasure to serve.
