Andrea Baker, LMHC

Andrea Baker is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 23 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, relationship strain, grief, trauma and related issues. She also helps people manage sleep problems, anger, ADHD symptoms, and the fallout from life changes.

Andrea began her career in therapeutic foster care, teaching children and parents practical life and parenting skills. She later spent many years in hospital settings, supporting people through medical crises and the challenges that follow serious illness. Those experiences shaped her focus on coping skills and straightforward support.

In sessions she uses client-centered methods along with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused techniques. Andrea teaches coping strategies, practices communication skills with clients, and helps build confidence through concrete steps. She also draws on trauma-focused approaches when people need help processing past harm.

She has worked with adults across caregiving and medical contexts, including people navigating adoption or foster care histories, blended family concerns, and caregiver stress. Andrea also supports people facing perinatal and postpartum challenges who are adjusting to life as a new parent.

Her style is practical and direct. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, achievable changes. People who want to organize next steps for work, family life, or health often find the approach useful.
