Background and approach

Before that she spent time in hospital, outpatient, and school settings, which shaped a broad, practical approach to care. She uses a mix of methods rather than one fixed style. Sessions tend to center on clear goals and tools that fit day-to-day life.

Andrea draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice values and take small steps toward them. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing strong emotions. Her style is compassionate and nonjudgmental, with an emphasis on collaboration.

She aims to create a space where someone can sort through immediate problems and build longer-term coping strategies. Andrea often blends motivational and solution-focused techniques to keep work practical and goal-oriented. People seeking straightforward, skills-based support in Maine may find her approach useful.

She explains ideas plainly and works with each person to choose methods that fit their life and goals.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when hard feelings are present. It focuses on actions people can try between sessions and can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for depression, anxiety, panic, and obsessive thinking by practicing new ways of thinking and behaving. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea collaborates with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. She blends techniques as needed and checks in regularly to adjust the plan together. Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into daily life. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions provide a flexible option, and live chat or text-based messaging can support shorter check-ins or moments when immediate tools are needed. These options aim to increase access and help people maintain consistent progress around their schedules.

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.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
