How her approaches translate to online sessions
Andrea commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change patterns of thinking and behavior. CBT work often looks like setting small experiments between sessions, tracking thoughts and trying alternative responses to reduce stress and depressive patterns.She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address connection and attachment issues within relationships. EFT in sessions involves identifying core emotions and practicing new ways of expressing needs and responding to a partner or oneself. Imago Relationship Therapy focuses on communication exercises that help partners recognize old relational patterns and practice clearer, calmer interactions.
Choosing which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then suggest a combination of methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are expected as sessions progress.
