About Andrea
Andrea Ziebell is a California LMFT with 15 years of clinical experience who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, and life transitions. She works with individuals facing caregiver stress, aging concerns, cancer-related distress, substance use issues, and other challenges that affect daily functioning.
She prefers a straightforward, skills-based approach. Sessions often include learning about symptoms, practicing communication and anger management skills, and creating manageable wellness plans. Homework or journaling may be suggested, but clients decide what fits their routine.
Andrea uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused work to identify unhelpful thoughts and try concrete behavior changes. She also draws on client-centered and mindfulness methods to support clearer thinking and present-moment coping. Motivational interviewing is available when people want help building readiness for change.
In practice she emphasizes practical tools over technical language. Andrea will explain why a technique might help and then try it together in session. She can help people set short-term goals and track small, measurable steps toward them.
Her background includes work in inpatient and outpatient settings and experience with adults affected by abuse, neglect, and legal-system impacts. Andrea’s California LMFT credential is listed as LMFT. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted. For people new to therapy she outlines basic options and what to expect on the first visits.
How Andrea uses structured approaches in online sessions
Andrea often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new responses. CBT breaks problems down into thoughts, feelings, and actions so clients can try small behavior experiments and see what changes.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on the person's own goals and experience. This approach means listening closely and adjusting the pace to what the person needs. Mindfulness Therapy is used to teach simple breath and attention practices that reduce reactivity and support coping with strong emotions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Andrea helps the client decide what to try based on current goals, concerns, and how they respond to tools in early sessions. That collaborative process includes setting clear, short-term goals and checking progress together.
