About Andrea
Andrea Brown is an LPC (licensed professional counselor) based in Pennsylvania with 17 years in the mental health field. She helps people dealing with stress, anger, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. Andrea also supports those facing grief, trauma, parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, and bipolar mood concerns.
She has worked in many settings over the years, including residential programs, partial care, outpatient clinics, crisis services, and in-home care. That range gave her experience with different levels of need and a variety of life situations.
Background and approach
Andrea draws on practical skills learned across these environments to meet people where they are. Her approach centers on the person. She starts by hearing what matters to the individual and then adapts the work to fit their goals.
Andrea uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and build more effective behaviors. She also incorporates mindfulness practices to help people notice stress and respond more calmly. Motivational interviewing is part of her toolkit when someone is ready to make changes but feels unsure how to begin.
These methods are blended so sessions focus on what will help most in day-to-day life. Andrea’s style is warm and supportive while also willing to offer a gentle challenge when needed. She views counseling as a team effort and emphasizes building a trusting working relationship.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability.

How Andrea’s approaches translate to online therapy
Andrea uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot patterns in their thoughts and behaviors and practice small changes that reduce stress and improve mood. CBT is practical and goal-focused, which works well in short online sessions and between-session homework.She also draws on mindfulness techniques to help clients become more aware of their physical and emotional reactions. Simple breathing and grounding exercises can be taught during a video call and practiced between sessions to manage anger and anxiety.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and daily life. She adapts techniques over time based on what proves most helpful in sessions and in real-world situations.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let therapists observe nonverbal cues and run guided exercises. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins and between-session support easier, and they can fit into busy schedules or work breaks.
