About Andrea

Andrea Walker is a licensed clinical social worker with 21 years of practice experience. She works with adults and uses practical, collaborative methods to help people cope with trauma, anxiety, depression, and life changes. Andrea draws on several approaches to tailor care to each person.

She offers client-centered work that focuses on what matters to the individual. She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to break unhelpful thinking patterns and build new habits.

Background and approach

EMDR - eye movement desensitization and reprocessing - is part of her toolkit for processing trauma when that is a central issue. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness practices to help people manage strong emotions and build resilience.

Her background includes work with a wide range of concerns such as relationship strain, grief, parenting stress, eating and sleep difficulties, ADHD, bipolar challenges, and caregiver burnout. She also addresses issues tied to abandonment, adoption and foster care, blended family tensions, and family of origin problems. Andrea provides therapy through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Sessions are offered in English and follow a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to the therapist's availability. She aims to create a warm, calm space where people can practice coping skills, improve communication, and move forward at their own pace.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on a person’s goals and experiences, letting the therapist follow what matters most to the individual and build sessions around those priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors to find small, practical changes that reduce anxiety or depression and improve daily functioning. EMDR involves focused processing techniques to address traumatic memories and can be adapted into online sessions when trauma processing is a goal.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about symptoms, goals, and preferences, then suggest methods to try. Sessions can blend approaches so techniques can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for longer sessions and skill work, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief updates or practice between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue care from different locations.
