About Andrea

Andrea Travers is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) based in Maryland with 13 years of experience. She works with adults and children on stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, substance use, and related concerns. Andrea focuses on practical steps that help people feel steadier day to day. She explains how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect, and then practices new ways of coping together with each person.

Andrea helps people facing relationship and attachment struggles, including abandonment worries and communication problems. She also supports those dealing with caregiver strain, addiction, and mood concerns such as disruptive mood dysregulation. Her approach addresses fertility-related stress, feelings of emptiness, and the lasting effects of abuse.

Sessions emphasize clear, actionable skills rather than only talking about problems. Andrea uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients try different strategies and notice what makes a difference. She works at a pace set by the client and adapts tools to everyday life.

Her work includes exploring past experiences that shape current reactions and testing small behavior changes that build confidence. Andrea aims to help people regain a sense of control, improve relationships, and reduce overwhelming symptoms. She explains options plainly and supports practical problem solving.

Step 3

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Andrea describes her work as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that connect thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing more balanced ways of thinking, which can reduce anxiety and low mood. Another emphasizes behavioral experiments and skills practice to change reactions and build confidence, which is useful for depression, stress, and addictive behaviors.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust them over time based on progress and feedback.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking since the biography does not list formats explicitly. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow more consistent check-ins during transitions. It can also allow for shorter touch-base meetings when needed or camera-off check-ins if that helps someone engage. Licensed professionals can tailor exercises and homework so tools are useful in everyday life, whether sessions are remote or in person.
