About Andrea
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 11 years of clinical experience, Andrea Villescas focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and depression. She also addresses parenting strain, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, ADHD, and issues related to LGBT identity. Andrea uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy in her work.
Andrea keeps sessions direct and practical. She helps people name what feels most urgent, learn skills to manage distress, and try small changes between meetings. Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented. She balances skill teaching with space to talk through painful memories or reactions.
Her practice includes attention to first responder and veteran issues, multicultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination, and seasonal affective disorder. Those topics are woven into treatment when relevant. Andrea aims to help clients cope with life changes and work through grief or compassion fatigue as it affects daily functioning.
Andrea describes therapy as a collaborative process. She works with each person to pick approaches that fit their needs and daily life. Over time she tracks progress and adjusts methods if something isn’t helping.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow Texas LPC standards. Prospective clients should confirm session formats and scheduling options before booking. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and a first appointment are used to start the process.

Approach-driven online sessions and what they involve
Andrea frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking meaningful steps even when unpleasant thoughts or feelings are present. CBT breaks unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns into parts so specific skills can change how a person reacts to stress or anxiety.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about goals, try techniques in session, and adjust methods based on what helps. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make scheduling easier and help fit therapy into a busy life. They also allow practical check-ins, skill practice, and shorter meetings when needed. Andrea aims to match approaches and session rhythm to a person’s daily routine and goals, helping to apply skills between meetings.
