About Andrea
Andrea Baker is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with more than two decades of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, trauma, relationship and family challenges, and life transitions.
Background and approach
She began her career working with children in therapeutic foster care, where she taught practical life and parenting skills, and later spent many years in hospital settings assisting people facing acute medical crises and chronic illness. That blend of community and medical experience informs her practical, strengths-focused approach to care.
Andrea emphasizes collaborative work that builds coping skills, improves communication, and strengthens self-confidence. She helps clients develop concrete action plans for career goals, supports those navigating the perinatal period and postpartum adjustment, and offers trauma-informed techniques for processing loss and abuse.
Her approach centers on honoring each person’s story while offering evidence-based strategies to reduce distress and promote daily functioning. Andrea draws on cognitive behavioral methods, client-centered principles, motivational interviewing, solution-focused techniques, and trauma-focused practices to tailor care to individual needs.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Andrea uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more adaptive patterns; this approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and managing ADHD-related challenges. She also employs client-centered therapy, which focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client's perspectives and goals guide the work and foster self-directed growth. In addition, motivational interviewing is used when clients want help finding internal motivation to change habits or pursue career and life goals.Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals and then recommends strategies or a combination of methods that fit best. That flexibility helps ensure treatment stays practical and relevant to the client’s everyday life.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow people to fit care into busy schedules and maintain continuity when in-person visits are difficult. These formats make it easier to access therapy from different locations and to use shorter or more flexible session types when needed.
