About Andraya
Andraya McGregor is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in Washington with 17 years of experience. She lists family and parenting as primary concerns and often addresses adoption and foster care questions, blended family issues, caregiver stress, communication problems, and other family problems.
She holds a Master of Education with a school counseling emphasis. That background and her career work give practical insight into parenting challenges and school-related behavior across development. She also notes experience using Functional Family Therapy with youth ages 11 to 18.
Her style tends to be direct. She pairs clear feedback with attention to how people actually respond. Sessions focus on concrete steps families can try between meetings and on changing unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior.
Andraya uses methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness strategies, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques to structure work and set short-term goals. She discusses options and adapts the approach based on what a person needs and prefers.
People who contact her can expect straightforward conversations about specific problems and practical next steps. She works in English and practices in Washington, holding the LCMHC credential listed here. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How Andraya uses structured approaches in remote sessions
Andraya works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns and try different responses. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions so specific changes can be practiced and measured in daily life.She also draws on mindfulness techniques to help people build steadier attention and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness work here is presented as short exercises to lower stress and improve focus rather than long formal practice. Motivational interviewing is used when people want help deciding on goals or finding internal reasons to change; it focuses on exploring motivation and increasing readiness.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist discusses goals, preferences, and how family life looks before recommending a plan. That means sessions are collaborative and adjusted as needs become clearer.
