About Andrea
Andrea Ferrara is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 17 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship problems, anger, or parenting strain. Her style is straightforward and goal-focused, aimed at practical change rather than long lectures.
Andrea draws on familiar therapy methods to guide sessions. She uses Client-Centered techniques to make the conversation feel respectful and collaborative. She applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and build stronger coping skills.
Background and approach
She also uses Emotionally-Focused and Gottman-informed ideas when relationship patterns are a core concern. Her background includes independent practice, inpatient and outpatient settings, crisis call centers, suicide hotlines, and work on military installations. That variety gives her experience with different kinds of stress and life transitions.
She has worked with individuals, couples, and families, and also offers group psycho-education. In sessions Andrea sets clear goals and focuses on changing behavior that gets in the way of daily functioning. She teaches practical skills for managing emotions, improving communication, and handling impulses.
Many clients leave with tools they can use right away. Andrea encourages self-care and balanced living as part of recovery and growth. She helps people explore values and life purpose while addressing concrete problems like sleep, eating, work stress, and money worries.
She practices in Georgia and conducts sessions in English.

Approaches that guide online care
Andrea often blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) when working online. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and responding without judgment so clients feel heard and understood; it helps with building motivation and clarity about goals. CBT looks at the link between thoughts, emotions, and actions and teaches step-by-step skills to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and shift unhelpful habits.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Andrea will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to solve. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation and relationship work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick skill practice, tracking mood, or checking in between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules while keeping the focus on real-world coping skills.
