About Andrea

Andrea Phillips is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Missouri who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and depression. With four years of clinical experience, she draws on approaches such as client-centered therapy, CBT, EFT, and EMDR to tailor care around each person’s needs.

Background and approach

She emphasizes clients' own expertise about their lives and highlights strengths that can be used to move through difficult transitions and emotional wounds. Andrea approaches therapy as a collaborative process, offering support for issues including self-esteem, motivation, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, and compassion fatigue.

Her background also includes work related to adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, disaster-related coping, first responder and veteran issues, and post-traumatic stress. She aims to partner with clients who are ready to take steps toward greater well-being while recognizing that beginning therapy is an act of courage.

Approaches That Guide Online Work

Andrea frequently integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping individuals discover their own solutions by building on personal strengths; it is often helpful for stress, low self-esteem, and relationship concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach tends to be a collaborative process. She will work with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and may blend techniques from different models so the plan fits each person's situation and priorities. This helps ensure the methods used align with what the client hopes to achieve.

Online therapy with Andrea is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varying schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities, and they allow clients to access licensed professionals without needing travel time.
