About Andrea
Andrea Levitan is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on relationships, family, and parenting concerns. She also helps with depression, stress, anxiety, grief, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, and career questions. Her way of working is direct and practical, with an emphasis on helping people notice what gets in their way and try new patterns.
Andrea speaks plainly and aims to make early steps feel manageable for a worried parent. Andrea invites people who are ready to commit to change and to face uncomfortable feelings.
Background and approach
She encourages attention to buried emotions while keeping work grounded and doable. Her style mixes active listening with straightforward coaching to help clients find small, sustainable shifts. She uses techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to target negative thinking and relationship patterns.
Mindfulness practices are woven in to help with stress, and Motivational Interviewing supports clearer direction when choices feel stuck. Andrea also includes ideas from Imago Relationship Therapy when couples want to rebuild connection. Andrea earned a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Avila University in Kansas City, Missouri.
She is licensed as an LPC in Kansas and Missouri and brings 18 years of clinical experience to her work. She also completed a Personal Trainer certification to integrate movement and basic health habits into emotional care when clients want that. In sessions she aims to be an attentive listener and a practical coach.
People can expect a collaborative plan that highlights strengths, sets clear next steps, and builds skills they can use at home.
Approaches that fit online family and relationship work
Andrea uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it focuses on small practiceable changes in thinking and action.Emotionally-Focused Therapy is another thread in her work. EFT helps partners and individuals map emotional responses and build safety in connection, which can improve communication and closeness.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Andrea treats selection as a joint decision and adjusts methods to fit each person's goals, needs, and preferences. She will explain options and try techniques collaboratively until something feels useful.
Online therapy offers options for busy families and people with limited travel time. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and practice new skills between meetings.
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.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)
Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
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.
