About Andrea
Andrea Mitchell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 16 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship concerns, grief, and the long-term impact of trauma and abuse. Andrea also lists family and parenting among her areas of focus and supports people dealing with ADHD, compassion fatigue, and self-esteem difficulties.
Andrea draws a clear link between early life experiences and how people cope now. She talks plainly about how beliefs about the self affect reactions to everyday stress. Sessions are conversational and interactive, with an emphasis on building a stronger sense of self and clearer communication skills.
Her approach includes practical tools clients can use between sessions. Andrea uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy along with client-centered and trauma-focused ideas. She helps people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding.
Andrea has personal experience with the effects of growing up in an alcoholic home, and she draws on that perspective when working with issues like abandonment, attachment concerns, and codependency. She helps people deal with guilt, shame, mood and personality disorder concerns, and control or communication problems.
The sessions aim to be straightforward and useful. Andrea encourages people to identify what works for them and to practice new skills in daily life. She accepts international clients and conducts work in English.
How sessions work
How Andrea’s approaches translate to online work
Andrea uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and take small steps toward values-based action. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression, and dealing with difficult life changes by focusing on what matters to the client rather than only changing thoughts.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift thought and behavior patterns that maintain distress. CBT gives clear techniques for managing anxiety, mood problems, and some addiction-related behaviors. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past hurt affects current relationships and functioning, with practical strategies for processing difficult memories and reducing their day-to-day impact.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
Confirm the available session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day by removing travel, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or avoiding video when bandwidth is limited. Therapists and licensed professionals often find these practical benefits help clients keep consistent appointments and apply skills in real life.
