About Andrea

Andrea Schmidt is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, ADHD, depression, trauma, grief, relationship and family concerns, and a wide range of life changes.

Background and approach

With 14 years of clinical experience, she draws on a compassionate, listening-centered stance to understand each person’s challenges and strengths. Her background includes work with mood disorders, parenting issues, sleep concerns, self-esteem and career-related stress, as well as caregiving and compassion fatigue.

Andrea blends evidence-informed strategies to help clients build practical skills and new perspectives. She uses client-centered listening to create a collaborative environment, cognitive behavioral tools to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and elements of dialectical and narrative approaches to support emotional regulation and meaning-making.

Her practice also attends to specific topics such as aging and geriatric issues, blended family dynamics, substance use, body image, hoarding, and other relational and life-stage concerns. Clients can expect a supportive clinician who emphasizes working together to identify realistic goals and steps forward.

Andrea aims to provide respectful, goal-oriented care that meets people where they are and helps them develop sustainable coping strategies.

Approaches that guide online care

Andrea frequently uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration, helping clients explore their priorities and feel understood while shaping therapeutic goals. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaching practical techniques to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbances.

She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) principles when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are central concerns; DBT offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. Together these approaches provide both reflective space and structured skill-building to address issues such as addictions, ADHD-related challenges, grief, and coping with life transitions.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to determine which methods and pacing fit their needs, goals, and preferences rather than prescribing a single path from the start. Sessions are adapted over time as progress and priorities emerge.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to access care from home or between obligations. These formats support consistent engagement, allow for ongoing skill practice, and increase convenience for clients balancing work, family, or caregiving responsibilities.
