More about Andrea
- 4 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience supporting youth ages 6–19 in a county mental health setting. My approach is warm, collaborative, and strengths-based, tailored to meet each client where they are.
I specialize in using the Community Resiliency Model (CRM), an evidence-based approach that helps individuals tune into their body’s signals and use grounding skills to navigate stress and emotional challenges. Through this model, clients learn practical tools to build resilience, regulate emotions, and feel more present in their daily lives.
I believe in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where youth can explore their experiences, build coping strategies, and strengthen their sense of self. My goal is to help each client develop the skills they need to move through life’s challenges with greater ease and confidence.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
