About Andrea
Andrea Mitchell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 16 years of clinical experience helping adults with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and addiction. She works with people coping with trauma and abuse as well as those managing grief, anger, and changes in life circumstances. Andrea also supports clients dealing with LGBT concerns, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and self-esteem struggles.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and trauma-focused approaches to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new responses. Sessions are conversational and practical. Andrea focuses on building a clearer sense of self so clients can name and communicate their needs more directly.
Andrea’s background includes growing up in an alcoholic home, which shaped her interest in attachment, abandonment issues, codependency, and substance-related problems. That lived experience informs how she understands the lingering effects of early relationships and unmet needs. She also assists people working through divorce and separation, communication problems, control issues, guilt, and shame.
Her approach mixes simple skills training with reflective work. Clients practice strategies between sessions and review what helps. Andrea uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation and Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations grounded in each person’s perspective.
She invites a steady, step-by-step process: notice patterns, try specific changes, and track results. The emphasis is on practical tools people can use in everyday life to manage mood swings, reduce urges related to addiction, and improve how they relate to others.
How Andrea applies practical therapies online
Andrea commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and habits, test alternative responses, and build step-by-step behavior changes for anxiety, mood, and addiction. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify values and create small actions that align with what matters, useful for motivation, stress, and life changes. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the lingering effects of adverse events by pacing exposure and stabilization techniques to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.Choosing the best approach is collaborative. Andrea will talk through the options and try methods that fit a person’s goals and comfort. Over a few sessions she tracks what helps and adjusts the plan so the work stays practical and focused on real-life results.

If you want sessions to fit around school, work breaks, or caregiving, note those needs when you complete the matching questionnaire so scheduling and format can be discussed.
