About Andria

Andria Kadell is a licensed master social worker practicing in Michigan who helps adults and teens address stress, anxiety, relationships, family tensions, and self esteem. She offers practical support for coping with life changes and for managing social anxiety and phobias. Her style is straightforward and nonjudgmental, focused on small, doable steps that fit a busy family life.

She works with each person to build a simple plan that matches their goals.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to clarify what matters, teach coping skills, and strengthen communication. Andria uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach skills for stress and emotion management. She also draws on mindfulness practices and strengths-based methods to help people notice what already works for them.

Narrative therapy is used to rethink unhelpful stories people tell about themselves. Adventure therapy skills are brought in when experiential learning or new perspectives can help change routines. Her approach is collaborative and practical.

Goals and techniques are tailored to each client, with an emphasis on building day-to-day tools. Andria invites clients to take small, confident steps toward clearer thinking and calmer family interactions.

Practical approaches for online family and stress work

Andria commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep stress and anxiety going. CBT breaks problems into clear parts and teaches skills you can use at home to feel better over time.

She also incorporates mindfulness practices and tools from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help with emotional regulation and staying present during stressful moments. Mindfulness teaches simple attention skills while DBT-based tools offer step-by-step ways to manage strong feelings and improve communication.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. This is a shared process that adapts as needs change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit family routines and busy schedules. These formats provide flexibility for shorter check-ins, longer sessions, or skill practice between meetings. Many people find the range of options helpful when balancing therapy with work, caregiving, and other commitments.
