More about Andrea
- 6 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Illinois with over six years of clinical experience. I have worked with clients experiencing a wide range of concerns, including major depression, mood disorders, anxiety, LGBTQ+ issues, substance use, psychosis, and sexual addiction. I have also worked with individuals of all ages, many of whom have experienced profound loss, trauma, and emotional pain. In addition, I have provided couples counseling to partners navigating financial stress, communication challenges, and marital difficulties.
Through the therapeutic process, I have had the privilege of watching clients strengthen their relationships with themselves and others while gaining confidence, healing, and resilience. Seeing people discover hope and move toward healthier, more fulfilling lives is one of the most rewarding parts of my work.
My therapy style is open, relational, and welcoming. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable sharing their stories. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and 12-Step recovery principles to help clients build healthier relationships, manage difficult emotions, and overcome addictive patterns. I believe therapy should be tailored to each individual because every person’s journey is unique.
I am passionate about helping people identify their strengths, work toward their goals, and create meaningful change. I also believe that laughter, play, and taking healthy risks are important parts of emotional well-being, and I encourage clients to embrace these as they grow.
Choosing to begin therapy is a courageous step, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside you in that journey. I look forward to getting to know you and supporting you as you work toward the life you want to create!

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.
