About Andrea
Andrea Joyce is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Kansas and a Licensed Mental Health Clinician (LMHC) in Iowa. She has 23 years of experience working with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship issues, anger, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and related problems.
Andrea takes a client-centered approach. She listens first and helps people set practical goals. Sessions focus on skills that reduce intense feelings and improve daily functioning. She uses straightforward techniques to help people manage anger, worry, or low mood so they can handle everyday demands more calmly.
In therapy she blends cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness and solution-focused work. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try small behavior changes, and practice present-moment awareness. For people with trauma histories, she brings trauma-focused methods to address distressing memories and reactions.
Andrea’s background includes work in agencies, a university setting, and with law enforcement. She has experience collaborating with foster care and juvenile court systems in her face-to-face practice. Those roles inform how she talks about safety, routines, and practical coping strategies with clients.
Her style is direct and practical. She encourages building on strengths already present in a person’s life rather than starting over. Treatment plans emphasize short-term skills and clear steps for handling anger, relationship strain, grief, and transitions.
Sessions are conducted in English and reflect a focus on real-life problems. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking so they know which options are available.
How her approaches translate to online work
Andrea uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy in ways that translate clearly to remote sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which often involves homework and short exercises people can practice between appointments. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness and grounding skills to reduce reactivity and increase calm in everyday moments.She also incorporates trauma-focused techniques when trauma is part of the picture. Those approaches aim to reduce the hold of distressing memories and help people apply coping skills to triggers that come up in daily life. Deciding which methods to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, symptoms, and preferences and choose the mix of techniques that fits best over time.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy schedule and making it easier to keep short, regular check-ins. Because the profile does not list specific remote formats, confirm which session types are offered before booking. Once formats are confirmed, clients can plan sessions around work breaks, quiet windows at home, or brief phone check-ins when needed, which helps keep progress steady without major disruptions to daily life.
