Teresita Andrade, LCSW

Teresita Andrade is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Texas. She focuses on helping people who are overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, grief, and major life changes. Terry keeps sessions straightforward and compassionate so people can talk through what matters most to them.

She brings six years of clinical experience and a background in hospice care, which shaped her understanding of loss and end-of-life concerns. That experience informs how she listens and responds to intense emotions like guilt, shame, and isolation.

Terry uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and blends approaches to fit each person’s needs. In practice that looks like working on practical skills, learning ways to manage strong feelings, and trying small changes that make daily life easier.

She also addresses relationship and identity concerns such as codependency, communication problems, and dependent personality patterns. Workplace stress, money worries, and questions about life purpose are other areas she helps people navigate.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. People come for help with self-esteem, social anxiety, forgiveness, and building self-love. Her style is warm and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people feel understood and capable of moving forward.

How evidence-based techniques guide online care

Terry uses a few core evidence-based approaches in her practice and explains them simply so people know what to expect. Cognitive-behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and depression. Mindfulness-based practices help people notice their emotions and bodily sensations so they can respond more calmly to stress.

She also integrates skills that come from dialectical approaches to help with emotional regulation and improving communication. These skills are practical tools to manage overwhelm, reduce impulsive reactions, and improve relationship interactions. Deciding which combination to use is a collaborative process between the person and Terry, based on goals and what feels most useful in real life.

If you are considering online therapy, check the session options before you book so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel time, and maintain momentum between sessions. Therapists can also adapt exercises and check-ins to suit shorter breaks, less bandwidth, or times when people prefer not to use video, helping make care fit everyday life.
