About Andrea

Andrea Ellis is a licensed clinician who combines evidence-based therapeutic techniques with a compassionate, client-centered approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and life transitions.

Background and approach

With an MD and an LCPC and three years of clinical experience in Maryland, she focuses on concerns such as family conflict, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, sleep problems, parenting challenges, self-esteem, depression, ADHD, and obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Her background supports attentive listening and practical skill-building tailored to each individual's needs.

Andrea frames therapy as a collaborative process, shaping conversations and treatment plans around what matters most to each person. She aims to meet clients with sensitivity and respect while helping them develop tools for coping with difficult emotions and restoring balance after loss or upheaval.

Prospective clients who choose to begin therapy with her will find an approach that emphasizes both understanding and actionable strategies to move toward a more fulfilling life.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Andrea draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and insight to address symptoms and improve daily functioning. Cognitive-behavioral strategies help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and sleep problems. Techniques that target compulsive behaviors and obsessive thinking emphasize gradual exposure and response prevention to reduce distressing rituals and increase tolerance of uncertainty.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process; the therapist works with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and presenting concerns. Treatment plans are adjusted over time based on progress and ongoing feedback so care aligns with what the client finds most helpful.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from Maryland or other locations and support consistent engagement with therapy while balancing day-to-day responsibilities.
