About Andrea

Andrea Ellis is a Maryland-based therapist who uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and ADHD. She holds an MD and is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, and brings three years of clinical experience to her work. Andrea meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps to make daily life feel more manageable.

Her approach is straightforward and respectful. She listens to what matters most and then tailors conversations and a treatment plan to fit each person's needs.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to be useful from the first meeting, with clear goals and small, achievable steps between appointments. Andrea has supported people coping with grief, trauma and abuse, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. She also helps with sleep problems, parenting pressures, low self-esteem, and obsessive or compulsive behaviors.

Her work often centers on reducing symptoms that get in the way of daily routines and relationships. She describes therapy as a collaborative process. Clients can expect an honest yet compassionate space to talk through difficult moments and learn skills to cope with change.

Andrea emphasizes sensitivity and respect in every session. For those beginning therapy, she encourages a simple first step: describe what is most pressing and together craft a plan that fits the person’s life. That plan can shift as needs change, with practical tools introduced at a comfortable pace.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Andrea lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Online support

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Andrea uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on solving current problems and building skills. One common approach is behavioral skills work, which teaches practical routines and coping strategies to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and manage obsessive or compulsive behaviors. Another frequent emphasis is grief and trauma-informed support, which helps people process loss and painful events in a paced, manageable way.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about symptoms, goals, and preferences, then try methods that match those needs. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as progress is made or new priorities appear.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a short break at work; live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins and ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to keep consistency, work around scheduling demands, and use the format that feels most comfortable.
