About Andrea
Andrea Baker is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with more than two decades of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges with self-esteem. She also supports those working through grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, sleep problems, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. Her work includes career concerns and coping with major life changes.
Andrea began her career supporting children in therapeutic foster care, teaching parents and kids practical life and parenting skills. For the past 20 years she has worked in a hospital setting helping people during acute medical crises and providing ongoing supportive counseling for health-related challenges. That background informs how she guides people through medical and caregiving stress.
Her sessions focus on practical skills. She teaches coping strategies for anxiety and depression, helps people build clearer communication, and works on steps to strengthen self-confidence. She also helps clients make action plans for career goals and address relationship or family-related stress.
Andrea has a particular interest in supporting women in the perinatal period who are adjusting to new parenthood or experiencing postpartum depression. She uses a collaborative style that centers the client’s experience and strengths. She encourages small, realistic steps toward change.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral tools, motivational interviewing, solution-focused techniques, and trauma-focused work. Andrea believes people are the experts in their own lives and offers steady support while clients try new coping skills and make changes.
How therapeutic approaches work in online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person telling their story and being heard. The therapist listens without directing and helps clients identify their own priorities and strengths. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change them; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She may mix client-centered listening with CBT techniques or use motivational interviewing to help someone move toward a specific change.
Confirm the exact session options before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time for people juggling work, caregiving, or health appointments. It can also make it simpler to continue care after a hospital stay or during a medical treatment process.
