About Andrea
Andrea Hare is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) practicing in Kansas with four years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, compassion fatigue, addictions, and parenting challenges. Andrea also supports people dealing with intimacy concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, and life changes related to career or caregiving.
She uses straightforward, practical methods in conversation. Sessions focus on talking through what feels most difficult at home and then testing small changes that can ease daily life. Andrea draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered methods to guide those steps.
Her work often addresses family-related problems, communication breakdowns, guilt and shame, and control issues. She also listens to people navigating adoption or foster care matters, aging and geriatric concerns, chronic illness or pain, and end-of-life or hospice related strains. Veterans and caregivers are listed among areas she has supported.
Andrea pays attention to how trauma and abuse show up in relationships and everyday routines. She uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness to teach skills for managing intense feelings and building steadier routines. Practical coping strategies and skill practice are commonly part of sessions.
People can expect a calm, direct approach that focuses on what can change now. The emphasis is on small, workable steps - clearer communication, manageable boundaries, and coping tools that fit into busy home lives.
How sessions work
How Andrea’s approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then committing to small actions that align with what matters. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and decisions tied to family or caregiving roles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, sleep or eating struggles, and managing stress at home. Mindfulness Therapy teaches brief paying-attention practices and grounding skills to reduce reactivity and support calmer responses in tense family moments.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those aims. The plan can be adjusted as sessions progress so the tools actually help with day-to-day routines and relationships.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy weeks, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove commute time. Online work can support practicing skills between sessions and applying them directly to real-life moments at home, while the therapist and client review what helps and what needs changing.
