About Andrea

Andrea Roland is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor who supports families and parents facing stress, anxiety, substance use concerns, grief, and changes in mood or behavior. She practices in Minnesota and offers straightforward, practical help. She speaks English and provides remote sessions through a variety of formats.

Andrea aims to make the first step toward help feel manageable for parents and caregivers. Andrea has 12 years of clinical experience working with people across a range of issues.

Background and approach

She has spent significant time in recovery-focused settings helping women and their families navigate substance use and the ripple effects it causes at home. She also has experience with trauma, depression, bipolar concerns, ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, intimacy questions, and family relationships. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental.

She focuses on listening closely, validating what’s hard, and helping clients set small, realistic goals. Conversations are practical and aimed at changes that fit everyday family life. Andrea draws from person-centered and humanistic approaches alongside cognitive-behavioral techniques.

She uses evidence-based practices when they match a person’s needs. Treatment plans are individualized and shaped by each family’s priorities. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Parents can expect clear guidance, tools to manage symptoms, and collaborative problem solving to improve daily routines and relationships.

Approaches that translate well to online family care

Andrea uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful thoughts and build concrete skills for everyday parenting and family interactions. CBT is practical and focuses on small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change patterns at home.

She also draws on person-centered and humanistic ideas, which center the person’s experience and values. This approach helps parents feel heard and supported while they consider changes that fit their family life. These methods are useful for grief, relationship tensions, and coping with life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea collaborates with each family or parent to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they try strategies and adjust the plan based on what helps most in real life.

Online therapy with Andrea is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around school, work, and childcare. The variety of formats also lets parents use short check-ins, longer conversations, or written exchanges depending on what feels most useful.
