Andrea Mitchell, LPC

Andrea Mitchell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who centers her work on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She creates a collaborative, easygoing space where clients can talk through their concerns and learn practical tools. Her approach aims to strengthen a person’s sense of self so they can notice what helps and ask for their needs more clearly.

Andrea draws on 16 years of experience to support people dealing with depression, addiction, relationship struggles, and the long-term effects of childhood trauma. She speaks openly about growing up in an alcoholic home and uses that perspective to empathize with people who have similar early wounds. Her background gives her a lived understanding of how past experiences shape present behaviors and feelings.

Sessions tend to be conversational and interactive, with exercises you can use between meetings. Andrea helps clients break big problems into small, manageable steps. She focuses on skills for emotion regulation, clearer communication, and rebuilding self-worth after hurt.

Her work includes attention to issues such as abandonment, attachment problems, codependency, and coping with major life changes. She also addresses concerns around grief, anger, substance use, and mood or personality struggles. Clients who want a therapist who mixes practical techniques with personal understanding may find this approach helpful.

People interested in starting are encouraged to consider what they most want to change and bring that to the first conversation. Andrea emphasizes collaboration and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Approaches that fit online work and daily life

Andrea frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and values, then take small actions that match what matters most. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches skills to change reactions and behaviors, which is helpful for anxiety, mood issues, and coping with difficult situations.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Andrea works together with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful. That collaborative decision is based on the client’s goals, preferences, and what comes up in early sessions.

The therapist’s biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Many people find online therapy helpful because it makes it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allows shorter check-ins when needed, and can reduce travel time. Online sessions also let people practice skills in the places they live and work while still getting guidance from a licensed professional.
