About Andra
Andra Blackheart is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with five years of experience. She focuses on people wrestling with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, self-esteem struggles, anger, anxiety, and life changes. Andra works with adults who feel disconnected from themselves or from others after big changes or difficult experiences.
She often supports neurodivergent adults who want clearer self-understanding and stronger social bonds. She offers evaluations related to autism and related needs, coaching, and therapy aimed at using a person’s strengths and supports. Her approach emphasizes practical steps and clear goals rather than labels or jargon.
In sessions Andra uses conversational, problem-solving methods. She helps people notice patterns, try small changes, and build on what already works. That might include adjusting how someone communicates, setting boundaries, or practicing new ways to handle anger and overwhelm.
She blends structured techniques with open-ended conversation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Client-Centered methods keep the person’s priorities front and center while Motivational Interviewing can help clarify direction.
People who come to Andra usually want realistic strategies they can use between sessions. She encourages practical experiments, coaching-style feedback, and steady skill building. If someone wants to try a different way of relating or managing strong feelings, she helps map steps toward those goals.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. The therapist follows the person’s lead and helps clarify what matters most. This approach helps when someone feels unsure about their identity or wants clearer priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions. It breaks down patterns into small experiments and practical changes. CBT is useful for anger, anxiety, depression, and relationship behavior people want to change.
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method for building motivation. It helps people weigh options and commit to next steps when they feel stuck or unsure.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then try approaches that fit. This is a collaborative process that adjusts as progress is made.
