About Andrea
Andrea Deases is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, trauma and abuse, and life transitions. Andrea also focuses on issues like self-esteem, relationship strain, attachment concerns, and mood disorders.
Andrea earned a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Texas at Tyler. She has worked in crisis centers supporting people through severe depressive episodes, bipolar disorder, and other acute needs. She has also worked in community counseling settings supporting children, teens, and families on communication and boundary-setting, and she has substantial experience counseling adults through transitions and loss.
Her day-to-day approach is collaborative and practical. She listens first, then helps set clear goals. Andrea uses a mix of methods chosen to fit the client's situation rather than a single fixed model.
Andrea commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She uses Client-Centered techniques to keep sessions grounded in the client's perspective, and she brings in Narrative and Solution-Focused ideas to reframe problems and target concrete next steps.
People often come for help with work stress, relationship tension, or recurring anger and resentment. Andrea also supports those navigating adoption and foster care issues, attachment questions, sexual assault and abuse recovery, and workplace challenges. She helps people who want clearer goals and steadier coping skills.
How her approaches translate to online work
Andrea often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, which can be effective in short practical exercises. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation focused on the client's experience and priorities, letting the client steer goals and pacing. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when needed to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing an approach is collaborative. Andrea will discuss what seems most useful based on the issues you bring, your goals, and what you prefer to try. She adjusts methods as you progress so the work stays relevant and manageable.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break, or a video session when face-to-face time isn't possible. Talk with her about what will fit your schedule and comfort so sessions become a workable part of everyday life.
