How Andrea applies CBT and trauma approaches online
Andrea regularly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people recognize unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of responding. CBT sessions often include clear worksheets, thought records, and short behavioral experiments to try between meetings. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how early relationships shape current reactions and to practice new ways of relating in day-to-day life. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses responses to traumatic events with pacing and techniques to reduce distress and improve functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She reviews what has helped before and adjusts plans based on what the client finds useful so sessions stay focused and practical.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when needed. Many people find that working this way supports consistent practice of skills in everyday settings, and Andrea will help plan exercises that fit each person’s routine.
