About Andrea

Andrea Harrelson is a licensed counselor with 24 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and depression, and major life changes. Andrea writes plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person.

She believes clients are the experts on their own stories and brings a strengths-based attitude to sessions. That means she helps people notice skills they already use and build on them.

Background and approach

The approach is practical and grounded in real-life steps rather than jargon. Andrea has practiced across multiple states and applies her long experience to a wide range of mood and trauma-related concerns. She also focuses on caregiver stress, feelings of guilt or shame, isolation and finding life purpose.

These areas often come up together and she helps people untangle them one step at a time. Sessions aim to be collaborative. Andrea works with each person to set reasonable goals, try tools in between sessions, and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Her role is to offer steady guidance while clients choose the direction. For parents or anyone feeling overwhelmed by change, Andrea encourages small, manageable steps. She acknowledges that reaching out can be hard and aims to make the first conversations straightforward and focused on what the client wants to change.

Focus areas and approaches

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

Online support

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Andrea uses well-established, evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach helps people process traumatic memories and reduce their impact by teaching coping skills and gradual exposure to distressing triggers. Another approach emphasizes mood regulation and behavioral changes - it helps people spot unhelpful patterns, try small experiments, and build routines that improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels manageable, then shape sessions around those needs. Plans can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when being off-camera helps concentration. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, homework discussion, or when a written format feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or busy days.
