About Andrea
Andrea Travers is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) based in Maryland with 13 years of experience. She helps people address stress, worry, low mood, trauma, and problems with self-esteem. Her work also touches on substance use and related life disruptions.
Andrea focuses on making practical links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. She talks through how past experiences shape current patterns. Together clients learn small changes that can feel meaningful day to day.
Her approach centers on steady, evidence-based techniques and clear conversation. Sessions aim to identify what matters most to each person and then try ways to shift unhelpful patterns. The tone is direct but supportive, and progress is built in small steps.
Andrea also works with concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues, communication and control struggles, codependency, caregiver stress, and challenges tied to fertility or parenting stress. She addresses substance use, domestic violence impacts, and symptoms linked to mood dysregulation and neurodiversity such as autism.
People who choose her often want a therapist who explains how experiences connect to behavior and who focuses on everyday, manageable changes. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online work
Andrea uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on linking thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to practical change. One common approach involves guided conversations that help identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new ways of thinking and acting, which can reduce worry and low mood. Another approach emphasizes coping skills and behavioral strategies to manage stress, trauma responses, and substance use challenges, teaching concrete steps people can practice between sessions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Andrea will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions are adjusted over time so the plan reflects what is helping and what needs more focus.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as during a lunch break, between appointments, or from a location that reduces travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed or longer sessions when deeper work is planned, depending on the formats offered. Ask about session length and delivery when you complete the matching questionnaire to find what fits your schedule and goals.
