About Andrea
Andrea Schmidt is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with people managing stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, depression, ADHD, relationship and family issues, grief, sleep problems, parenting strains, self-esteem and career concerns. She also helps with compassion fatigue and transitions that come with major life changes.
Her style is straightforward and person-focused. She listens first, then works with clients to identify practical steps they can try. Sessions typically include talk, problem-solving, and skill practice that clients can use between meetings.
Andrea uses a mix of approaches depending on what feels most useful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a common tool she uses to spot patterns and try different behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy guides the way she listens and responds so clients lead the pace of change.
She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Mindfulness techniques for emotion regulation and stress management. Narrative Therapy is sometimes used to reframe difficult experiences and reduce their emotional hold.
Andrea’s work addresses both immediate problems and longer-term patterns. She helps people develop clearer communication, set boundaries, and reduce repeated conflicts. If someone wants to work on anger or on issues tied to addiction, grief, or family stress, she offers steady, practical support focused on change that fits everyday life.
How her approaches translate to online work
Andrea often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns and testing small changes to reduce distress, which can help with anger, anxiety, and mood problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration so clients set the pace and goals for treatment.She also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation and mindfulness practice to help reduce reactivity. These approaches teach concrete skills - for example breathing, grounding, or problem-solving steps - that people can practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will help figure out what fits best based on a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. She frames decisions as a collaborative process and adjusts methods as progress is made.
