About Andrea

Andrea Bray Ryan is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Texas who approaches therapy with empathy and collaboration.

Background and approach

She draws on six years of clinical experience working in inpatient behavioral health settings and independent practice to support people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and a wide range of life challenges.

She seeks to partner with clients to identify strengths and practical skills that help manage emotions, relationships, and daily functioning. Her work blends evidence-informed techniques such as cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, and trauma-focused interventions with an emotionally attuned, nonjudgmental stance.

Andrea emphasizes skill-building across coping, relaxation, and self-regulation, and integrates body-based practices like yoga and grounding when helpful. She frames growth as a collaborative journey, helping clients discover what fits their needs while treating each person as a whole rather than a list of symptoms.

Andrea values a compassionate, present-focused style that supports both immediate relief and longer-term development. She aims to help clients translate insight into action so they can navigate grief, relationship difficulties, identity concerns, addiction-related struggles, and life transitions with greater clarity and resilience.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Andrea integrates cognitive behavioral techniques and trauma-focused work into online sessions in ways that emphasize practical tools and emotional processing. CBT is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, often through exercises and skill practice that translate well to video or messaging formats. Trauma-focused therapy helps people process difficult memories and develop grounding and self-regulation strategies that can be taught and rehearsed in remote sessions.

Choosing the right approach is presented as a collaborative process. Andrea works with each client to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different methods, adjusting the plan as needed so the therapeutic approach fits the person rather than the person fitting the method.

Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These options make it possible to access consistent care without travel, practice skills between sessions, and maintain continuity of support when life circumstances change.
