About Andrea
Andrea Joyce is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, a Licensed Mental Health Clinician, and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with more than two decades in practice. She brings 23 years of experience supporting people who face stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and ADHD. Andrea writes plainly and listens closely to each person's story.
Andrea takes a direct, person-centered approach in sessions. She focuses on what is working, then builds practical skills to bridge through hard moments.
Background and approach
Conversations tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented, with time spent teaching coping tools and ways to manage mood or worry. She uses elements of cognitive behavioral work to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes. Mindfulness practices are offered to reduce overwhelming reactions and anchor attention.
Solution-focused steps help clients set short-term goals and track progress. Andrea has experience across agency, university, and public safety settings, and she has worked with people connected to foster care and juvenile court in face-to-face practice. That background informs her calm, no-nonsense style and comfort with complex life situations.
People who come to Andrea often want practical strategies as well as a thoughtful listener. She aims to meet clients where they are, help them understand what brought them here, and support them in building clearer routines, boundaries, and skills for everyday life.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Andrea commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related routines, and mood management because it breaks problems into clear steps and actions.She also draws on mindfulness therapy to teach attention and grounding skills. Mindfulness practices are short exercises people can use during stressful moments to lower reactivity and improve focus. Solution-focused methods are used to set clear, achievable goals and to track progress between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust plans as needed so the work fits the client's preferences and day-to-day life. Clients and the therapist decide together what feels most useful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is helpful for full conversations and nonverbal cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins, and chat or messaging can suit quick updates or flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving routines.
