About Andrea
Andrea Brown is an LPC (licensed professional counselor) in Pennsylvania with 17 years of experience in the mental health field. She helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, stress, and challenges like compassion fatigue and parenting strain. Andrea also has experience with bipolar disorder, anger, intimacy-related issues, and coping with life changes.
She has worked in residential programs, partial care, outpatient settings, crisis services, and in-home care. That range means she has seen a variety of difficulties and levels of need. Her background includes work with substance use and with people who have intellectual or developmental disabilities.
Andrea uses a person-centered, integrative approach. That starts by listening to where someone is now and choosing techniques that make sense for their goals. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also uses mindfulness practices to increase present-moment awareness and motivational interviewing to support readiness for change.
Sessions are conversational and practical. Andrea describes the work as collaborative - she talks through goals, offers tools to try between sessions, and checks what is or isn’t helping. She can challenge unhelpful patterns while also focusing on real-life steps a person can take.
People who want straightforward, skills-based help with mood, anxiety, or stressful life situations may find this approach useful. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so goals and next steps can be discussed.
How Andrea adapts CBT and related approaches online
Andrea uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT sessions focus on practical skill-building, such as identifying patterns, trying small behavioral experiments, and using worksheets to track progress. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and responding to a person's concerns without directing the agenda. That approach helps people feel understood while they set their own therapy goals. Mindfulness Therapy is used to build attention to the present moment and to reduce reactivity through short exercises and breathing practices.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. Andrea will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and adapt methods based on what the person finds useful. The plan can shift as needs change so techniques that don’t fit can be replaced with others.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals often use these practical benefits to help therapy fit into everyday life.
