About Andrea

Andrea Levitan helps people who are struggling with relationship challenges, parenting stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, career concerns, and money or financial issues. She writes plainly about the hard work therapy requires and encourages people who are ready to commit to emotional change. Andrea speaks directly about the early discomfort of growth and the relief that follows when progress begins.

Her style is practical and creative. She listens closely and uses a mix of strategies to match each person's needs. Sessions focus on identifying stuck patterns, naming buried emotions, and trying new ways of relating to others and to oneself. Andrea combines goal-focused tools with chances to practice different responses in real life.

Andrea holds a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Avila University and is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Kansas and Missouri. She also completed a personal trainer certification to link mental health with exercise and basic lifestyle habits. Those interests shape how she supports mood, motivation, and energy.

Clients can expect direct feedback, motivational coaching, and step-by-step plans. Andrea emphasizes small, achievable changes that build confidence. She draws on relationship-focused approaches when intimacy or communication are central concerns.

Over 18 years of practice, Andrea has worked with many people facing family-of-origin issues, commitment and codependency challenges, body-image and eating concerns, cancer-related stress, and struggles after divorce or separation. She aims to help clients find clearer direction and greater emotional balance.

How her approaches translate to online work

Andrea commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy along with Imago Relationship Therapy when relationship work is central. CBT focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to reduce anxiety or low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify underlying emotions and change the way they respond to close relationships. Imago Relationship Therapy centers on improving communication and increasing understanding between partners.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. Andrea will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they try methods and adjust the plan over time so the approach fits the person and the problem rather than forcing one model on everyone.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, or allow a quicker check-in during a work break. Some approaches lend themselves to skill practice and short homework between sessions, which can be convenient when meeting remotely. Ask about how sessions are scheduled and what to expect so you can arrange appointments that fit everyday life.
