About Andrea

Andrea Baker is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with 23 years of clinical experience. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, ADHD, depression, grief, and major life changes. Andrea offers straightforward support for everyday struggles like sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, and career uncertainty.

Andrea began her career supporting children in therapeutic foster care, teaching life skills to kids and parents. For over two decades she worked in hospital settings helping people facing acute medical issues.

Background and approach

That background gives her experience with caregiving stress, chronic illness, and cancer-related challenges. Her approach centers on listening and building on each person’s strengths. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the focus on the person’s goals and experiences.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people change unhelpful thoughts and small daily behaviors that keep problems going. Andrea also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who want to make changes but feel stuck, and Solution-Focused Therapy to set concrete steps and short-term goals. For those with traumatic histories, she offers Trauma-Focused Therapy to help process distress at a pace that feels manageable.

Sessions tend to be practical and goal-oriented, with tools to try between meetings. Andrea emphasizes clear communication, planning, and gradual progress. She encourages people to name small wins and build routines that support longer-term wellbeing.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well online

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s needs and goals first. The therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead to build trust and set priorities, which helps with stress, self-esteem, and parenting concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses clear exercises and homework to change patterns that maintain anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and ADHD-related challenges.

Motivational Interviewing helps when someone wants change but feels unsure how to start. It focuses on building motivation and making small, realistic plans to reach goals like career moves or healthier routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose and adapt methods that match goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. That means adjusting pace, trying different tools, and checking in about what is helpful.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets, phone sessions work when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text messaging can be used for quick check-ins or brief coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, medical appointments, or caregiving duties while keeping the focus on steady progress.
