Hi! I'm Andrea. I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW-S) and Licensed Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor (LICDC) based in Ohio. I am licensed to treat both mental health and substance use disorders. I have been working with substance use disorders for over eight years and mental health for six years. My passion is helping others identifying their ideal life and the necessary steps to get there.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we will have a brief introduction, followed by identifying treatment goals and your current concerns. From there, we will identify personalized goals in order to develop a plan for us to focus on in future sessions. I believe in flexibility, so you have the power to determine the course of treatment. After all, it is YOUR treatment! I will meet you where you are.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having years of experience with anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, OCD, and substance use disorders, I have been able to use interventions tailored to concerns, including root causes, and underlying thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Solution Focused Brief Therapy truly makes you the expert on your own life! Sometimes thoughts can get overwhelming and it becomes tough to figure out goals, or where to even begin in making changes. My goal as a therapist is to help you discover lasting solutions for your circumstances by setting attainable goals.
Motivational Interviewing
Sometimes making changes can be difficult. Identifying areas that you wish to change, and potential benefits of those changes can help get the ball rolling! I have eight years of experience in treating addictions, which is a prime example of an area where we may need some extra motivation to sustain change.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Our thoughts and actions are much more intertwined than we realized. I have used CBT for years to help clients identify automatic thoughts and subsequent reactions. By becoming mindful of thought processes, actions can change.
