About Andrea
Andrea Coulter is a licensed clinician with twelve years of experience helping people navigate difficult moments. She holds LCPC and LCMHC credentials and sees clients from Vermont and beyond. Her style is warm and straightforward.
She listens closely and speaks plainly to help people make practical changes. Andrea meets people where they are and works together with them to set clear goals. She balances support with gentle challenge, so clients learn new skills and build habits that fit their life.
Background and approach
She emphasizes a strong working relationship as the foundation for progress. Her work covers a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, and LGBTQ matters. She also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, caregiver stress, substance issues, and problems connected to family history.
Treatment draws on several practical methods. Andrea uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take action. She applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
She also brings Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and attachment-focused ideas when they fit the client’s needs. Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled online by people outside the U.S. as well. Andrea aims to make therapy useful and relevant, focusing on concrete steps clients can take between sessions.
She helps people find workable strategies for the challenges they face.
Approaches that guide online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and take small actions that align with those values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes where clarity about priorities helps guide choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real experience. This approach gives step-by-step techniques for managing anxiety, mood shifts, and everyday problems.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for handling strong emotions and improving relationships. It is helpful when people need tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and pick or blend methods that fit. This is a collaborative process aimed at building practical skills and changes that can be used between sessions.
Online therapy makes these approaches more accessible through flexible formats. Video calls let people meet face to face from home, phone sessions offer a simpler option, and live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins or ongoing skill practice. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work when life gets unpredictable.
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.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
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.
