Andra Blackheart, LCSW - Therapist in Florida

About Andra

Andra Blackheart is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people reconnect with themselves after change or hard experiences. She brings five years of experience and works from Florida. Andra uses clear, practical conversations to help clients understand what matters to them now and take steps toward it.

Her style centers on listening first and tailoring the work to each person. She uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered methods to name patterns and try new ways of responding.

Background and approach

Mindfulness and motivational interviewing also inform her sessions when useful for motivation and attention to the present. Andra often helps people who feel disconnected after transitions, trauma, or when they are learning to live with autism or complex trauma histories. She supports concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, relationship and intimacy struggles, self-esteem, and identity questions.

Her approach emphasizes practical skills, clearer communication, and stronger day-to-day coping. Sessions aim to build on strengths and small wins. Conversations include goal-setting, noticing unhelpful thoughts, and trying different behaviors between meetings.

Andra also offers coaching-style work when clients want focused, action-oriented support. She conducts therapy in English and provides several remote formats so clients can choose what fits their life. New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's perspective. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises to try between sessions to reduce anxiety or improve mood.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what has worked before. Together they decide whether to emphasize skills practice, reflective exploration, or motivational techniques and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs and schedules. These options make it easier to keep consistent meetings during busy weeks or when travel is difficult. The variety of formats also allows for brief check-ins, longer sessions, and homework support in ways that match each client’s life and pace.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
