About Andrea

LPC (licensed professional counselor) in Pennsylvania with 17 years of experience, Andrea Brown focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting, compassion fatigue, bipolar disorder, anger, intimacy-related issues, and coping with life changes. Andrea draws on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to help people address immediate problems and build practical skills.

Andrea has worked across residential, partial care, outpatient, crisis, and in-home settings. That variety means she has seen a broad range of difficulties and levels of need. She often meets people who feel overwhelmed, isolated, or unsure where to start, and she helps them break problems into manageable steps.

Her approach begins by listening to what matters most to each person. She uses client-centered techniques to make space for a person’s experience, then adds cognitive-behavioral exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness practices are used to ground attention, and motivational interviewing supports readiness for change.

Sessions focus on practical skills and real-life problem solving. Andrea balances encouragement with direct feedback so people can try new strategies between meetings. She aims to build a working relationship that supports steady progress.

Andrea’s background includes work with substance use and intellectual or developmental disabilities in addition to her core areas. She practices in Pennsylvania and holds the LPC credential. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Andrea uses client-centered work to begin sessions by listening to what matters most to the person. This approach helps establish priorities and guides which techniques to try next. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it includes homework such as simple behavior experiments and thought records that translate well to remote sessions. Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, and these can be coached in short exercises during a meeting.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Andrea collaborates with each person to choose approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques as progress is made and checks in regularly about what is or isn’t helpful.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit appointments around school, work, or caregiving by removing travel time. It also supports brief check-ins when days are busy and lets people use mindfulness or CBT worksheets between sessions to reinforce learning.
