About Andrea
Andrea Hare is a licensed clinical social worker (LSCSW) based in Kansas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. She also addresses issues like compassion fatigue, addictions, intimacy-related problems, and struggles with sleep or eating. Andrea focuses on practical steps people can use to cope with life changes and career strain.
Andrea uses a client-focused style that emphasizes listening and collaboration. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy to tailor strategies to each person. Sessions involve talking through current problems, learning coping skills, and setting small, achievable goals.
Her background includes four years working in clinical settings with a range of concerns. That experience includes supporting people dealing with caregiver stress, chronic illness, adoption and foster care questions, end-of-life issues, and veteran-related matters. Andrea brings a calm, steady approach to help people sort through emotions and practical pressures.
In the room she pays attention to communication patterns, guilt, shame, control issues, and isolation. She helps people practice new ways of responding and notice what gets in the way of change. Therapy can include problem-solving, behavior change techniques, and mindfulness exercises.
Andrea encourages clients to set the pace and focus on what matters most to them. She aims to help people build resilience, improve relationships, and find clearer direction when life feels overwhelming.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match personal values. It can help when anxiety, grief, or life changes make it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for depression, anxiety, and stress-related problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches moment-to-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and build emotional balance; it pairs well with ACT and CBT for managing stress and compassion fatigue.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Therapy is a shared process that can mix techniques as needs change, and the plan is adjusted based on what is most helpful.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins during a break, and reduce travel time. It also lets therapists use worksheets, behavioral experiments, and mindfulness exercises between sessions to support steady progress.
