About Andrea
Andrea Douglas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 13 years of experience. She practices in Alabama and works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship and parenting challenges. She also supports people facing career changes, compassion fatigue, and coping with life transitions.
Andrea uses straightforward, practical conversations to help people regain a sense of control. She often focuses on small, doable steps that reduce tension and improve day-to-day interactions. Sessions look at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teach ways to respond differently.
Her background includes work across a variety of life and relationship problems. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and the Gottman Method for relationship work. That mix lets her pick methods that match what each person needs at the moment.
In a session Andrea helps people spot patterns that lead to anger or resentment. She then practices alternative responses, communication skills, and short exercises clients can use between meetings. She also supports people handling abandonment, blended family issues, body image, and commitment concerns.
Meetings aim to be practical and task-oriented while still allowing space to talk through difficult feelings. Andrea invites people to try small changes, track what works, and adjust the plan over time. She accepts clients from other countries and runs sessions in English.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Andrea commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to reduce stress and manage anger. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people find their own solutions to relationship, parenting, and life transition issues.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy for quick, goal-oriented work when people want to target specific changes. That approach highlights strengths and small steps that make daily life easier, such as clearer communication or brief behavior experiments to test new responses.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the first conversations. She works collaboratively to decide which methods fit the client's goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed.
The practical upside of online sessions is fitting therapy into a busy life. Online work can make it easier to schedule meetings around work or family, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time.
