Background and approach

She also works with attention-related challenges and with obsessive thoughts or compulsive behaviors. Her sessions aim to make difficult topics feel manageable and concrete. Her approach is collaborative and adaptable.

She listens first, then shapes a plan with tools that match each person’s needs. Sessions move at a steady, practical pace so parents can try ideas between meetings and report back. She practices in Maryland and speaks English.

Andrea encourages people to take the step of reaching out when they are ready, and she supports that process with patience and respect.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Andrea uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and clear change. One common method helps people learn tools to manage anxiety and stress by changing unhelpful thinking and adding simple behavioral steps. Another approach targets trauma, grief, and intense emotions with paced processing and coping strategies to reduce overwhelm and restore daily routines.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Andrea listens to each person or family to understand their goals and tailors the techniques she uses. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy with Andrea is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules and family life. These options make it easier to keep sessions regular, try tools between meetings, and stay connected from different locations. The variety of formats supports flexible follow-up and consistent support while working toward clearer routines and improved coping.
