About Andra
Andra Blackheart is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related struggles, self-esteem, coping with life changes, stress and anxiety, LGBT matters, family issues, anger, career concerns, depression, coaching, and ADHD. She also notes work with abandonment, attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, BDSM and kink culture, commitment and communication problems, domestic violence, guilt and shame, isolation, life purpose, and mood disorders.
She describes an ideal client as someone who has become disconnected from themselves after a life change or a traumatic event, or someone trying to strengthen connections with others. Andra emphasizes support for neurodivergent adults who want to feel more connected to themselves and to the people around them. That includes people seeking to build friendships, community, parenting bonds, or greater intimacy in relationships.
Her practice uses practical strategies drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), client-centered work, existential ideas, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused approaches. Sessions aim to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and try different ways of responding. She also offers evaluations and coaching supports mentioned in her original biography.
Andra frames therapy as a place to build on existing strengths and supports. She works with clients to identify goals and practical steps toward them. The emphasis is on clear, manageable changes rather than abstract concepts.
Sessions are conducted in English and take place in Florida. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, users follow the site's matching steps and schedule an initial appointment.
How Andra integrates approaches for online work
Andra draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and habits. CBT is practical and focused on changing patterns that keep problems going, which can help with anxiety, depression, and relationship patterns.She also uses client-centered techniques that prioritize listening and responding to what each person says matters most. This approach supports clearer goals and helps clients notice their own strengths. Existential ideas are used to look at meaning and values when people face life changes or questions about purpose.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Andra works collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person’s goals and preferences. She checks in and adjusts the plan as needed so sessions remain focused and useful.
