About Andrea
Psychologist (Maryland) with 17 years of experience. Dr. Andrea Wheeler helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addiction concerns, relationship and intimacy questions, parenting strain, attention differences, mood disorders, and the fallout of trauma and abuse.
Dr. Wheeler works collaboratively with each person to set practical goals. She uses a mix of approaches including acceptance and commitment work, attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, and emotionally focused methods. Sessions focus on concrete steps, skills practice, and clearer understanding of patterns that keep problems going.
People come to her with overlapping concerns such as caregiver stress, codependency, family of origin problems, infidelity, guilt and shame, or midlife questions. She helps people untangle these threads and prioritize what matters most now. Treatment blends short-term skill building with attention to deeper relationship patterns.
In sessions she listens for what a person values and where small changes could make daily life easier. That might include tracking thoughts and behaviors, experimenting with new ways of relating, or developing acceptance strategies for hard emotions. Progress is checked against the goals set together.
Her practice centers on practical tools a person can use between sessions. Dr. Wheeler encourages straightforward conversations about setbacks and adjustments to the plan. To begin, people select the online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Wheeler commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based therapy in sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and practicing alternative responses; it is often used for anxiety, panic, and mood problems. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can help with intimacy issues, codependency, and family of origin concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and which methods fit best, then adjust the plan as progress is reviewed. That collaborative process helps keep sessions relevant and focused on usable changes.
Confirm the current session formats before booking. When arranged for online care, practical benefits include fitting sessions around work or caregiving, shorter check-ins when needed, and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to practice skills in everyday settings and maintain continuity between appointments, while the therapist and client decide how to structure sessions to support the goals.
