Andrea Baker, LMHC

Andrea Baker is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 23 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and problems with self-esteem. She also supports those facing relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and life changes such as career shifts or medical crises.

Her early work was with children in therapeutic foster care, teaching life skills and parenting techniques. For much of the last two decades she worked in hospital settings supporting people during acute medical events. That background shaped her focus on practical coping tools and clear communication skills.

Andrea uses straightforward approaches to help people reduce distress and build routines that fit their lives. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. She also uses client-centered methods and solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and track progress.

She has particular experience supporting people through perinatal adjustment and postpartum depression, and she provides counseling for those navigating serious health issues. Andrea aims to help clients develop skills they can use between sessions, such as sleep strategies, stress management, and problem-solving steps.

Her work tends to be practical and goal-oriented. Sessions often include talking through current problems, practicing new ways of responding, and making concrete action plans. People who want structured, skills-based support for everyday problems may find this approach helpful.
