About Andrea
Andrea Villescas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 11 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addictions while addressing life changes and emotional burnout. Andrea creates a calm, open space where clients can talk through painful memories and current struggles without judgment.
Her approach blends practical tools and steady support. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and take steps that match their values.
Background and approach
Mindfulness practices are used to build awareness and reduce reactivity in everyday moments. Andrea also uses strategies from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills. Those techniques can help when anger, grief, or compassion fatigue make daily life harder.
She offers coaching-style guidance for career concerns and self-esteem work. She has experience supporting people with ADHD and sleep difficulties, and she addresses multicultural concerns, prejudice, and the stresses faced by veterans and first responders. Andrea explains options clearly and works at a steady pace so people can try new skills between sessions.
Sessions aim to be practical and realistic. Andrea helps people set small, achievable goals and builds plans for coping with setbacks. The work is collaborative, with the person’s values directing each step.
Approach-focused care offered online
Andrea commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking action that matches their values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior, and offers step-by-step strategies to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, and unhelpful habits.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video works well for deeper sessions and exercises that benefit from face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when a session needs to fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging can be helpful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or staying connected between scheduled meetings.
