About Andrea
Andrea Hamilton is an LPC and LMHC who uses evidence-based techniques to help families and parents manage stress and relationship strain. She brings 19 years of hands-on experience in Florida settings. Andrea writes plainly and listens carefully to understand what each family needs.
She focuses on practical steps parents can use right away at home. She trained in psychology and counselor education, and also earned an MBA from Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton.
Background and approach
Much of her career has involved child welfare work supporting children and families. That background shapes how she approaches parenting, boundaries, and family routines. Andrea has experience working with people affected by substance use, sexual assault, and those involved in the prison system across Dade and Broward Counties.
She helped start a female therapeutic group home in Broward County and a co-ed group home shelter in Dade County. Those roles added skills in crisis response and coordinated care. In sessions she focuses on clear goals and step-by-step strategies that parents can try between meetings.
She addresses common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, anger, grief, and coping with life changes. Andrea also works with issues related to addiction, intimacy, eating, ADHD, bipolar, and LGBT concerns when they affect family life. She conducts therapy in English and offers several online formats.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a family selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to therapist availability.
Evidence-based approaches delivered online for families
Andrea draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and practical change. One approach emphasizes behavioral strategies to build predictable routines, reduce conflict, and improve daily functioning; this is useful for parenting challenges, ADHD, and mood symptoms. Another approach focuses on trauma-informed care which helps people understand how past hurt affects current relationships and guides gentle steps toward safety and emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea collaborates with each family to match methods to their needs, goals, and comfort level. Together they review what’s helping and adjust the plan as progress is made and new priorities arise.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let families meet face-to-face from home, phone sessions work when schedules are tight, and live chat or text-based messaging can be used for shorter check-ins and between-session support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family life while keeping treatment consistent and accessible.
