Andrea Villescas, LPC - Therapist in Texas

About Andrea

Andrea Villescas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 11 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and parenting challenges in straightforward, practical ways. Andrea aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable rather than overwhelming.

Her approach centers on building a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about what matters most. She uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns and try new responses.

Background and approach

Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are offered when they match a person’s needs. Sessions often include learning simple tools for handling strong emotions, improving sleep, and managing cravings or stress. Andrea also addresses issues such as grief, coping with life changes, work-related fatigue, and challenges related to identity and discrimination.

She explains techniques in plain language and focuses on practical steps clients can use between sessions. Clients can expect collaborative goal-setting at the start of work together. Andrea supports skills practice and small experiments to test what helps in daily life.

Progress is tracked in concrete ways so people can see what is changing. Her license is TX LPC 69141 and she offers services in English. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging under a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes values-based action so clients can take small steps toward what matters even when emotions are hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on practical skill-building to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress-related issues.

Selecting the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, daily routines, and what has or has not worked before. Together they try approaches and adjust plans so the methods fit the person’s needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more accessible. These formats allow for flexible scheduling and continued work from home or another convenient place. They also make it possible to practice new skills between contacts and to check in using shorter, frequent messages when that suits the client.

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.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
