Approaches listed

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Andrea directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.

Online session options

How narrative and skills-based work fit into online therapy

Andrea uses Narrative Therapy to help people tell and reframe their life stories so problems feel more understandable and manageable. Narrative work can help with trauma, grief, identity questions, and finding a clearer sense of purpose. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means she listens closely and follows your pace while helping you clarify goals and values.

She incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to teach practical tools for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. CBT focuses on spotting thought patterns and testing small behavioral changes to reduce distress. Together, these approaches let clients address both the stories they tell about their lives and the concrete habits that shape daily experience.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of therapy. Andrea collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan when something isn’t working, so the process stays practical and person-focused.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for in-depth conversation and skills practice. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit brief support into busy days. These options offer flexibility for people juggling work, family, and other commitments.
