About Andrea

Dr. Andrea Hayes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina with nine years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She trained in counseling at the master's level and earned a Ph.D. in Advanced Studies in Human Behavior with a counseling emphasis. Her background includes work across prison settings, juvenile justice, military facilities, independent practice, and community agencies, where she supported people facing depression, anxiety, ADHD, substance use concerns, and trauma-related issues.

Dr. Hayes emphasizes building rapport through trust and mutual respect, shaping sessions to feel warm and inviting.

She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside person-centered and solution-focused techniques, tailoring treatment plans to each person’s needs and adjusting approaches when different tools are indicated. Her practice also includes attention to anger, self-esteem, grief, stress, compassion fatigue, addictions, relationship struggles, bipolar symptoms, parenting challenges, forgiveness, veteran and armed forces issues, and cultivating self-love.

Clients can expect a collaborative stance in which the therapist helps identify practical strategies and small, measurable steps toward goals. Dr.

Hayes invites people ready to engage in personal growth to begin a process of steady, guided change while respecting that each journey is individual.

Practical Approaches and Online Access to Care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a core tool used in her work; it focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing more balanced beliefs while developing practical skills to manage symptoms such as anxiety, stress, and mood difficulties. Person-centered techniques create a supportive environment that prioritizes the client’s perspective, helping people feel heard and engaged while exploring their values and goals.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then tailors a plan that may combine CBT with person-centered or solution-focused elements. Adjustments are made over time so the approach aligns with what is most helpful for progress.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or to connect from different locations. These options allow licensed professionals to provide consistent guidance, homework review, and skill-building work between sessions while accommodating varying communication styles and life demands.
