About Andrea
Andrea Bragdon is a licensed therapist who blends practical talk with calming, mindful practices. She holds LMHC and LCPC credentials and brings seven years of counseling experience to her work. Andrea keeps sessions warm and straightforward so parents can focus on solutions.
Her style is respectful and nonjudgmental, with room for gentle humor when it helps ease tension. Andrea focuses on relationship challenges, parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, and mood difficulties like depression and bipolar disorder.
Background and approach
She also addresses stress, anxiety, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, career questions, and life transitions. Her background includes work with complex family-of-origin problems and post-traumatic stress. Her clinical approach mixes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, mindfulness techniques, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy.
In practice that means clarifying values, building small habits, and using short-term goals to create change. Andrea adapts methods to match each person’s needs rather than following a single protocol. Sessions are offered in English and Andrea sees clients in Florida.
She also accepts international clients and uses a range of online options including video, phone, live chat, and text messaging. Costs vary by location and follow a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.
The intake process aims to quickly connect families with a plan that fits their life and priorities.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Andrea often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and take small, meaningful steps toward those values. ACT is useful for anxiety, stress, and situations where someone feels stuck. Client-Centered Therapy is also a core part of her work; it focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space so people can find their own answers and build confidence.She combines these approaches with mindfulness practices to bring attention back to the present moment. That combination tends to support people dealing with relationship strain, parenting stress, trauma recovery, and mood challenges. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and daily life, then tailor methods to fit what works best for the individual or family.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around family life and other responsibilities. Remote formats also let people try different ways of talking and working without traveling, which can help keep momentum between sessions.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
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.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
