About Andrea
Andrea Strayer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with eight years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, family conflict, anger, depression, and ADHD. Andrea also addresses caregiver strain, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, and workplace concerns.
Andrea earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Bowling Green State University and a Master of Social Work from The Ohio State University. Her work has included crisis intervention and practical support for people facing mood and impulse-related challenges. She draws on what has worked before and focuses on concrete steps forward.
Her practice uses a solution-focused approach. That means she helps identify a specific challenge, make a short-term plan to address it, and put that plan into action. Sessions tend to emphasize clear goals and measurable steps rather than long exploratory work alone.
In appointments she addresses issues such as communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation concerns, guilt and shame, and symptoms of panic or post-traumatic stress. She also supports people struggling with self-worth, social anxiety, and women's issues.
People who come for help can expect straightforward problem-solving, suggestions for immediate coping, and follow-up steps to try between sessions. Andrea aims to help clients reduce the everyday strain that affects family life and parenting responsibilities.

How sessions work
How evidence-based techniques guide online sessions
Andrea uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on clear, practical steps. One approach is solution-focused work, which narrows a concern to a specific problem, sets a short-term target, and tests small changes to see what helps. This can be useful for stress, communication problems, and immediate family-related issues.Another common technique involves behavior-focused coping strategies. These are concrete actions and routines to reduce anxiety, manage mood swings, or lower impulsivity. Clients learn specific exercises they can practice between meetings to track progress.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which techniques suit their goals and daily life. That decision is revisited as progress is made and circumstances change.
The biography does not list which online session formats are used. Confirm available session formats before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or remove travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt evidence-based tools to remote sessions so the practical, step-by-step work continues even when in-person meetings are not possible.
