About Andra
Andra Blackheart is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Florida with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing relationship struggles, anxiety, depression, life changes, and concerns tied to identity and connection. Andra lists family of origin issues among her areas of focus and often supports people dealing with attachment, abandonment, and patterns that come from earlier relationships.
She pays attention to how past roles and expectations still shape daily life. In sessions she helps clients notice repeating patterns and decide what they want instead. She also supports people navigating neurodivergence, including Autism and related concerns, and addresses intimacy, communication, and career pressures.
Her approach mixes client-centered listening with practical tools. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and build different habits. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques help people set small, doable steps toward change.
Andra offers coaching and therapy aimed at strengthening supports and skills. She notes work with topics such as BDSM and kink communities, commitment and intimacy issues, and coping with domestic violence histories. Sessions can include focused skill practice, communication work, and planning for concrete next steps.
People who come to her often want to reconnect with their priorities after a breakup, diagnosis, move, or big life shift. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to talk about immediate concerns and goals.
How her approaches guide online sessions
Andra uses client-centered work to follow what matters most to each person, paying attention to their priorities and immediate concerns. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping clients name what they want to change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is offered to help identify unhelpful thoughts and to practice different behaviors. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and habit changes by breaking problems into small, manageable steps.
Motivational Interviewing helps clarify a person’s own reasons for change and supports planning realistic next steps. It pairs well with solution-focused techniques for setting short-term goals and tracking progress.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past, and will adjust methods collaboratively as needed.
The site notes session options during booking, and clients should confirm current session formats before scheduling. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, or allow phone-only meetings when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. These practical options can help people keep therapy consistent while managing everyday routines.
