About Andrea
Andrea LeBeau is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) in Kansas with seven years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and issues around self-esteem and relationships. Andrea also supports concerns such as eating and anger issues, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
Andrea trained in social work at the University of Kansas and began practicing in 2017. Much of her work has been in the child welfare field, offering both individual and family-based therapy with the goal of keeping families functioning together when possible. She has also worked for the National Suicide Hotline and has used crisis counseling skills in those roles.
Her counseling approach centers on the client. She listens, gives direct feedback when needed, and combines several therapy methods based on what a person needs. Andrea uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy concepts alongside client-centered, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative approaches when they fit a client's goals.
She currently supervises therapists who provide services to families involved in foster care. That supervisory role keeps her connected to practical, case-focused work and to supporting other clinicians in applying therapeutic techniques.
Andrea aims to build a straightforward working relationship. Sessions focus on noticing thoughts and patterns, testing new responses, and practicing skills that can be used between meetings. Prospective clients should confirm session formats before booking to make sure they fit their needs.
How Andrea uses structured approaches in online work
Andrea commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new responses. CBT focuses on clear, practical exercises and short experiments that can reduce anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful behavior patterns.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and collaborative goal-setting so clients shape the focus of sessions. Mindfulness Therapy is used to teach attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and improve moment-to-moment coping.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Andrea discusses a client's goals and preferences and together they decide which methods to try. That collaborative process helps match techniques to what a person needs and what feels practical day to day.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into busy schedules, shorten check-ins when time is limited, and allow practice of skills between appointments. Therapists and licensed professionals can also adapt exercises to the online setting so clients can try behavioral experiments and mindfulness practices in real time.
