About Andrea
Andrea Roland is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, depression, relationship and family challenges, and ADHD. She practices from Minnesota and brings a compassionate, straightforward style to sessions. Andrea aims to help people feel heard, respected, and more in control of daily life.
Andrea has 12 years of experience as a counselor in clinical and recovery settings. She spent over a decade working at a recovery center for women and their families, supporting people through substance use concerns, grief, and major life changes.
Background and approach
That background shaped a practical, empathetic approach that focuses on real-life steps between sessions. Her sessions mix person-centered listening with humanistic perspectives and cognitive-behavioral ideas. Conversations are guided by what matters most to the client, and plans are adjusted to fit each person’s goals.
Andrea uses evidence-based techniques when they fit the situation. She keeps language simple and priorities clear. Parents and adults worried about behavior, sleep, eating, mood swings, anger, or attention challenges will find a calm, nonjudgmental setting.
The work often includes skill-building, problem solving, and checking what helps in day-to-day life. Andrea emphasizes collaboration. She listens first, then helps craft steps that are realistic and doable.
Progress is measured in practical changes clients notice at home, work, and in relationships.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Andrea blends person-centered listening, humanistic perspectives, and cognitive-behavioral ideas into online work. Person-centered approaches focus on listening without judgement and helping clients feel understood, which can reduce isolation and build motivation. Humanistic methods emphasize each person’s strengths and values, helping people clarify what matters and make choices that fit their life. Cognitive-behavioral techniques look at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teach concrete skills to change how someone reacts to stress, mood shifts, or attention difficulties.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will start by hearing what the client wants to change and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they try strategies, review what works, and adjust the plan to match goals and daily routines.
Online formats offer practical flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can fit a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, practicing skills between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, school, or caregiving schedules.
