About Andrea

Andrea Mitchell is a Licensed Professional Counselor who uses practical, down-to-earth approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and other life challenges. She creates a calm, collaborative space where parents and individuals can talk through struggles and build clearer ways to communicate their needs. Her style is conversational and focused on real skills that can be used between sessions.

Andrea draws on 16 years of clinical experience and ideas about how early experiences shape self-worth and relationship patterns.

Background and approach

She believes small shifts in how someone sees themselves can change how they respond to stress and conflict. Sessions emphasize learning concrete tools and noticing what does and doesn't work in daily life. Her training includes methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, along with trauma-informed techniques.

She blends these ideas to match each person’s situation rather than sticking to one fixed plan. That means sessions may include values-based work, skill practice, and gentle processing of difficult memories. Andrea also addresses issues tied to family and parenting, including communication problems, addiction impact, and coping with life changes.

She aims to help people build more self-compassion and practical routines that reduce overwhelm. The work moves at a pace chosen by the person in therapy. Sessions are offered in English and available to people in Texas and internationally.

Andrea encourages anyone feeling stuck to take a small step toward clearer boundaries and steadier routines.

Approach, Online Care, and Practical Support

Andrea commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are uncomfortable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks down stressful thoughts and teaches simple skills to shift behaviors and mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. Together they decide what to try, check whether it helps, and adjust as needed so the plan stays relevant and useful.

Online therapy lets people use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit therapy into busy family schedules and different time zones. These options make it easier to practice new skills between sessions and to get support without long travel. The focus stays on helping people build coping strategies, clearer communication, and steadier routines that work in everyday life.

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.

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.

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.
