About Andrea

Florida LMHC with 4 years of experience, Andrea Thomas helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Andrea’s work centers on listening carefully and helping people clarify what they want to change. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations and practical work in sessions.

Andrea follows a person-centered stance and treats the client as the expert on their life. Sessions focus on the client’s goals and move at a pace they set. She aims to make therapy straightforward and focused on what matters most to the person in the room.

In practice Andrea blends talk-based work with methods supported by research. She helps people identify patterns, test out new ways of coping, and practice skills between sessions. The approach is direct and practical rather than theoretical.

Andrea is a therapist of color and pays attention to cultural background and identity in sessions. That means she will invite discussion about how culture, race, and identity affect feelings and relationships when clients want to bring those topics up.

People who choose Andrea can expect concise, goal-oriented sessions that balance listening and active strategies. She asks about current stressors, reviews small steps that can be tried between sessions, and tracks progress over time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first meeting.

How Andrea uses research-based techniques in remote care

Andrea draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to structure sessions and teach practical skills. Person-centered work starts by identifying the client’s goals and priorities and making space for the client’s perspective. Cognitive-behavioral style methods help people notice unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and try small experiments to change them. These techniques are commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.

Trauma-informed approaches focus on stabilizing symptoms and building coping strategies before addressing painful memories. That can include grounding exercises, emotion regulation skills, and pacing that follows the client’s lead. Deciding which techniques to use is a collaborative process; Andrea discusses options and adapts methods based on the client’s goals and preferences.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins that fit around work or family commitments. It can also allow sessions without video when someone prefers a shorter, audio-only check-in or needs lower bandwidth. Ask about the exact session formats available when you begin the matching process.
